hockingzig Pillar of the Community United States 1450 Posts	Posted 02/02/2010 10:30 pm I had a group of about 10 dateless Buffalos I decided to soak in vinegar just to see if I could raise dates on them.Most gave me faint,very hard to read dates but one gave me a nice clear although faint date,a 1914 S. What do you folks think would be a fair price to ask at a fleamarket or similar kind of sales venue? There is not a lot of detail on the coin but since it is a rare one could I reasonably expect someone to pay $5? More? Less? Give me your thoughts! Report this Post to the Staff

Somebody here on the forum sells alot of them on ebay. I think it's WeerdSteve, Maybe he'll chime in. Edited by ratman4762 02/03/2010 11:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
