I have the opportunity to buy these coins for $29 minus the Peace dollar. This a good buy? Does the morgan appear cleaned or polished? It looks similar to some that were polished that I posted earlier. Here is a list of the nickels 1915 D 1916 S 1916 D 1917 1917 D 1918 1919 1920 1921 1923 1924 1925 1926 1928 1928 D 1928 S 1929 1929 D 1929 S 1930 1930 S 1934 1934 D 1935 1935 D 1935 S 1936 D 1936 S

Tough call. What do the four early date MINT MARKED nickels look like? Are they original dates (not restored)? Can they be easily read?

Tough to say from the pics, but the Morgan seems righteous to me. The Peace dollar shows hairlines, even in these pictures, and should be avoided anyways. The Morgan is worth about half of the asking price itself, and the ASE is most of the rest. This doesn't sound like too bad of a deal.

here are some pics of the nickels. I can't tell much, can you? There isn't a 1916 S, it is just a 1916.

IF those early Buffalo nickels are actually the 15D, 16D and 17D, in G-4 grades, would be worth about $40 for those alone. Probably most of the others would be $0.50 to $1.50 if purchased at a coin show, coin shop or on line. So $29 for the entire mess is pretty good. If you buy them get them out of that Whitman folder as fast as you can. That shinny stuff on the rear of the slots is glue. Don't know where your getting those from but someone could ask for a lot more. Great start for a collection.

Those buffs might appear as though they have restored dates? I see a dark area over the date on a couple?

any other comments on if they are restored or not? How much does the vale decrease if they are restored?

Quote: How much does the vale decrease if they are restored? I do not know, but I think number 3 and number 5 in the lineup look guilty.
