numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 08:45 am There's a listing on ebay right now for "150 Silver Buffalo nickels." Either he's got no clue or it's an obvious deception. I guess he forgot to add that he's not a coin collector and found these in a trunk in his grandfather's attic. GIMMIE A BREAK! Report this Post to the Staff

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 12:44 pm i recently stopped into a pawn store in margate florida. the shop had about 8 - dateless buffalo's. when I asked him what he wanted for them - he calculated their weight - and wanted to charge - silver spot price. even after I explained to him that there was zero silver in them, and he verified that - online, he wouldn't move on his price. I think he was in the $2.50 neighborhood - per coin. as comedian bill engval says - "here's your sign". Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 4:51 pm I have seen members here think they are silver also so this could be a honest mistake. I looked on ebay and do not see this listing, I was going to inform them of the composition of the Buffalo nickels but maybe someone already informed them and they took the ad down Report this Post to the Staff
StJoeBlues Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 6:51 pm Maybe they're getting confused because they've seen pictures of some of the Buffalo nickel 1 oz silver rounds. If you don't have one in hand, it would be hard to compare the sizes and know the difference. Report this Post to the Staff
DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 05/02/2011 10:47 pm The existence of 35% silver 1942-45 War Nickels may cause the uninformed to think Nickels made before WWII also contain silver. Report this Post to the Staff
Chriscoinmaster Valued Member United States 337 Posts	Posted 05/03/2011 09:06 am I think its just an honest mistake if people know the slightest things about coins they think old coins are silver they also think that since stuff is old it must be worth a ton these 2 things make us think of non collector as fools but they are just that...non collectors Report this Post to the Staff
