carnold744 Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 5:11 pm Not the best pictures, but in that condition, I'd say maybe a $2-$4 coin, maybe better depending on the pics and how people bid. Basing this off what they currently sell for on ebay. Good deal for $1. Report this Post to the Staff
Robinson1990 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 5:15 pm well the thing is that it has full horn and details in braid. I would say an ef40. sorry the pictures are blurry. are you sure its only 2$? Report this Post to the Staff

carnold744 Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 5:31 pm $2 is the floor for that date in that condition. As I said, you could potentially get a little more for it with better pictures and if you get the right bidders on the right day. 1918-P is a pretty common date with a mintage of 32 million, so you won't get just too much of a premium for it.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15428 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 5:43 pm You would be well served to learn how to take coin photographs in a different manner ... Honestly ... the blurry images of the coin in hand with hand in photo are very distracting. At a minimum ... cut your fingernails. Yikes. Lay the coin flat on a neutral surface and try again ... Even so ... not a high valued example. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Dith Pran Valued Member United States 283 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 6:00 pm more like a 20 dollar coin... Report this Post to the Staff

No, almost no on e would pay 20 bucks for it. Where ever you got that price from is SUPER inflated. Quote: At a minimum ... cut your fingernails. Yikes. But yeah, try taking the pics on a flat surface. Report this Post to the Staff
Dith Pran Valued Member United States 283 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 6:16 pm Can't really tell from the photos, but looks to be somewhere in vf condition. $20 would be the fmv. Am I missing something here? haha http://www.ebay.com/itm/1918-P-Buff...047675.l2557 http://www.ebay.com/itm/1918-BUFFAL...047675.l2557 Report this Post to the Staff

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 8:35 pm By the way Robinson1990. I take all my coin pics with my iPhone. If you need some smart phone photo tips I can give you a few pointers. Report this Post to the Staff
yhbearcats Pillar of the Community United States 688 Posts	Posted 03/15/2015 8:51 pm Probably a couple of bucks, unless it is a variety. I had a 1918 DDR that sold for close to $200. Would need better pics to tell if it could be a variety coin Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: I'd say maybe a $2-$4 coin I'm not an expert with the Buffalo nickel and the pictures aren't the best but I must be missing something. Here is a link to numismedia.com showing the FMV http://www.numismedia.com/cgi-bin/c...de2=pricesms I would grade it VF-20 and the links from ebay Dith Pran put up support numismedia values. Why are most people here valuing it so low.. Edited by Neo13x 03/16/2015 2:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
