The Washington quarters (1932-1945S and 1946-1959D) are also a good deal. I wouldn't bother with the 1960-1998 since the coins after 1964 do not contain any silver. The Buffalo nickels depend upon grade. If these all have natural surfaces and readable dates, this is a reasonable price. The rest of the coins seem priced a little high to me.

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 08/10/2006 10:39 am I agree that it depends upon the condition of the coins, Mints, errors and so forth also. Mercs are always a good buy, atleast the market says so. Solid silver too, ofcourse! Do these prices include shipping to Australia? If so, that could be why they are slightly higher. In any case, these should be nice to start a U.S. collection or fill some holes. Report this Post to the Staff

What did I do wrong? Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 08/10/2006 11:32 am Actually, the going rate right now is USD .76 is equal to AUD $1. That's why I recommended purchasing the silver Washingtons. Report this Post to the Staff
sn31 Pillar of the Community United States 773 Posts	Posted 08/10/2006 12:43 pm I think buying the silver is a good idea,seems fair enough as I would buy them myself.If the buffalos have readable dates,that would be another good buy.The rest would really depend on what condition the coins are in.Good luck to ya :) sn31.

scoutjim99 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 08/10/2006 1:26 pm they sound like resonable prices , mostly the silver Report this Post to the Staff
Buffaloboy5 Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 08/10/2006 1:53 pm To me if I were offered I would ask for pictures not like picture pictures but really detailed close up pictures so you can see them first. And my opinion is that the quarter set 1932-45 is a good bargain and the lincoln cents from 1909-1940's it also a good bargain but depends on the grade really Report this Post to the Staff
