Quote:I got a good question about WWII nickels. Why are WWII nickels going for a dollar or more a piece on
ebay. At most they are worth about 75 cents a piece. 75 cents is the high end value. I'm not complaining becuase its more money I'm making on WWII nickels but in the long run I wouldnt pay no more than 50 cents a piece for them.
I suspect the reason is the oddity of them attracts people. There are lots of those little plastic cases with oddities in them for sale all the time. Examples are the WW2 Nickels, ond of each type of Nickel like a Liberty Head, Buffalo, Jefferson. Then too there are the 3 Steel 1943 Lincoln Cents, One of each type of Dime, One of each type od cent, etc. Not sure who makes those little plastic cases but I sse hem all the time on
, flea markets, coin stores, everywhere. Placing a set of WW2 Nickels together makes a sort of selling point so the prices are inflated dramatically.
