I'd hate to speculate without seeing the coins.

Hard to say without seeing pictures of them.

Photos would really help. How many wheat cents--75? 1000?

Based just on the coins I would say pass, none (for average circulation) have high value. Instead of getting a lot of low quality coins, why don't you buy 1 high quality specimen of each and add to an album?   |

Any chance of you posting a pic of the "self proclaimed 1909 VDB"?

From the description only, I'd be out after the total was above $40.00 - $200.00? Tell him "good luck with that."

Nope. Couple of Ikes likely worth $2. A 1909 VDB in F is worth, what, $5-10? Buffalo nickels probably multiples of common dates. I admit I have no idea on the SBA. |

From what you describe, I would not do it. I see nothing there of value, unless the Buffaloes include some better dates. But my hunch is that they don't.
