mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 12/20/2010 4:42 pm No not worth it. 13D raised ground is a Type 1 and is the more common of the two 13D and actually you should even restore that one since you know based on the reverse alone. Most of the rest are pretty much commons. Report this Post to the Staff
dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 12/20/2010 4:50 pm also the posting says MOST are restored. I would want to know how many are/are not restored, and if they are restored dates with nic-a-date, or other acid method. you could probably do as well buying dateless nickels and trying restoring them yourself. I bought 8 dateless for about 18 cents each delivered, and found 4 dateless - roll searching, and got a fairly similar mix. it seems to me the earlier dates, are the most commonly - dateless coins.

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 12/20/2010 9:28 pm Sorry, retored coins are not worth as much as others profess. Properly concerved coins have a market all their own. It all depends on who concerves the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 12/20/2010 9:42 pm I've restored a 1918/7-D I picked up for 16 cents and sold it for $300. If they are properly restored and key dates, they can sell for 10-15% of G4 value. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

livefree New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 12/20/2010 10:10 pm I have several buffs without a date but still have a mm. I know their not the 1913 type 2 but could be another good date,say a 1926 s. So please tell me they/you do it Report this Post to the Staff
thecoinczar Valued Member United States 455 Posts	Posted 12/21/2010 12:27 am What exactly does he mean by "restored." There can be many things done to a coin to consider and call it a restored coin. I would ask him some more questions and find out just what was done to the coins up for sale. Also, are they all "restored?" Report this Post to the Staff
goldduster New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 12/21/2010 07:25 am How do you go about restoring the date an these nickles? Apparently from what I am reading here they would not be considered an altered coin therefore lowering the grade? Report this Post to the Staff
coppertop5150 Pillar of the Community United States 958 Posts	Posted 12/21/2010 08:04 am It can be worth it ,restoring allowed me to get the key dates that would have cost a arm and a leg . The guy selling the buffalo's does not have any key dates for sale. He has mostly 20's and 30's common dates even in unaltered condition can be bought for a few bucks each key dates 13-s type2 13-d type2 14-d 15-s 21-s or even semi key dates 13-s type1 14-s 17-s 18-d 26-s 24-s 31-s The guy thinks the 13-d raised ground is worth 50 $ ?, he is mistaken the coin even in xf is only worth $35 in a unaltered state. I cant blame the guy for trying to sell them. I have a boat load of more common date buffs i'd like to get ride of to. I'm trying to sell my duplicate key/semi first then deal with the rest later Report this Post to the Staff
