specksynder Pillar of the Community United States 1080 Posts	Posted 03/26/2011 3:56 pm All sorts of comments & input are welcome here... At the dealer this week, I asked if they had dateless buffalos. They brought out a ziploc bag and said they were 13 cents each. I bought 20. They said I could pick out which ones I wanted. Well, I wanted them to make Hobo Nickels, so I just grabbed 20 with no corrosion. If I saw a mint mark I put it back (in case someone else wanted it for acid treatment). So I tried to get shiny junk with no mint marks. When I got home, I noticed some interesting things in my assortment, but in particular... A complete set of Type I Buffalo nickels: P, D, and S. Now, they truly are dateless... that is rubbed smooth, but being Type I, we all know they are 1913. I put them aside (instead of carving them up). I assume they are worth more than the 13 cents I paid for them (what do you think they are worth?). So what should I do with them? ebay? hoard them? sell them here? Take them back to the dealer and trade them for 3 other dateless? Report this Post to the Staff

After shipping/fees, I expect I'll clear $7.50 on my $0.39 purchase. Cool! Report this Post to the Staff
