I'll link the eBay auction and as you go through the listing see if there is anything that would catch your eye and get you to potentially bid.
I will add this was a seven day auction and it started out at $99.00
There were two other bidders plus my bid.

You think it's a 12-S Liberty Nickel?
My Ebay Store
Perhaps. Probably not. It is at least a "D" issue though.
The coin appears VF/XF.

I think it was worth the gamble. No matter what, you can't lose much based on just the bullion value alone. Keep us posted when you get it.
Philippians 4:4-7
Either way a fun gamble with not much downside.
Good luck.
My Ebay Store
Thanks.
The Whitman album routinely sells for $20. to $30. empty.

‘12-S Liberty head nickel
‘76 Bicentennial Quarter DDO
1923-S Standing Liberty quarter
Nickel looks to be the gamble, though
I didn't see what stuck out but figured it was a decent price even if there wasn't anything special (just in the album and value of the individual coins). If the nickel
2024-d quarter, cheerios dollar
the 1912-D nickel looks like it could fit in your counterfeit collection
you have $3.20 in 90% silver a 40% silver half and a war nickel
Be sure to let us know the result when you get it in hand.

The Liberty nickel weirdly looks fake. I would love to get (another) one of these albums on-the-cheap someday. I actually picked one up for free many years ago and inadvertently donated it as a door prize to the club that I was then a member of.

@braddick how did this turn out?
No real surprises.
The 1912 nickel is a "D" mint and would grade out at XF.
The other coins migrated to various other type sets I have and the album along with some of the
modern coins I couldn't use I sold on eBay along with the album itself, covering my eBay expense and postage on the above auction.
All in, not a super hit, but not too shabby either.
