terry8835 Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 02/17/2016 10:46 pm I am looking to buy a 1918-d 8/7 Buffalo nickel. I see that just from Red Book the prices above Fine condition really start to sky rocket. However, what would be a good current price for one of these coins in F or VF condition that is graded and slabbed? Where is the value for the money? I see the prices for VF at around $5000 and Unc. from $30,000 to $50,000. Where is the sweet spot for this coin if there is one? Most of my set is in the VF grade. Report this Post to the Staff

I would recommend Heritage over ebay for this type of coin. Rare coins can sometimes be had at heritage, even with their vig, that's lower than ebay. Or better yet, shop a major show.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/18/2016 07:55 am That particular Buffalo is a monster. don't mess around with e-bay , try as mentioned a large show or large reputable coin stores . and IMHO don't settle for a details coin , and don't pull the trigger unless your 100% happy with it. Oh one more thing ; ''You Get What You PAY For'' . Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/18/2016 10:41 am It is a tuff coin to find in a grade where you can see the 7. Keep away from places like ebay for that 0ne. Regardless of the price, just make sure it is authenticated. Report this Post to the Staff
paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 02/18/2016 12:20 pm Speaking from experience with this one it's certainly an easy one to identify. I bought a raw one on ebay for $900 and it PCGS slabbed as a problem free F-12. Maybe I was an exception, but if you know your buffs well, it's fairly easy (with some exceptions) to detect issues with a coin that would result in a "problem" outcome from the TPG's. To the knowledgeable collector, ebay is the biggest and one of the best sources for collectible coins. Just sticking in my 2¢ (or in this case 5¢). PG Report this Post to the Staff
