I saw this for sale on an app where people sell stuff. I bought coins on it before and it turned out well. And I came across this ad someone had where they are selling all of these coins for $19. I'm wondering if it is worth it for the Shield nickels?   Edited by Alex12780

if this is going to make you happy I say that you cannot go wrong spending a dollar a coin for those specific coins and getting the chance to inspect, discover, be inspired etc... or you head to the bay and see what a single $20 nickel-buy gets you and decide if you want to have that instead either way, you're collecting and aspiring to Numismatic greatness  |

A few cents more than $1 each. Worth it. And, yes, I believe the Shield nickels are authentic. |

I personally would pass, doesn't look like they have dates. I've found that unless they are good dates, it's just not worth buying coins in such low condition.

The only reason I personally would buy this lot is if I didn't have any of these types, or if I just wanted to stock up on common-date old coins. Just because.
But where else could you buy such interesting historical stuff for $19? Each of these coins has a story you could tell to your friends. (And oh yes, they most definitely are real--not fakes.)

For me .. I would pass.
The Buffalo and Liberty head nickels can be bought for $1.00
or less.
The no date nickels have very little value over face.

If you really want them make a lower offer. John1  |

The only coins that are worth anything to speak of are the 1896 V-Nickel and the War Nickels which are 35% silver . But it's your call .  |

It's a "junk silver" lot, with some Buffalo's thown in.
I think a bit high, but not too bad.

Ask if the Shield nickels have dates. If yes, Id go for it. If no it is questionable. |

Not much to loose. I'd say why not.
