At what price would you buy War Nickels or 40% KH's ?

1630Boston

War Nickels = ?

40% Kennedy Halves = ?

Face value.

No interest here!

4 cents and 40 cents...

tommy44

At $17.59 war nickels melt at $0.99 and 40% halves at $2.60.

Not really interested but would probably buy In quantity at 75% or 80% if that

1630Boston

@rawteam1
I would definitely buy at that price also

@tommy44
Your buy price [hypothetical] is what I was thinking of selling some for.
We think alike..........................kind of scary

I would always buy them at 10% below wholesale. You can flip them for a 10% profit. No law says you need to hold them for 50 years.

@jmlanzaf
Yes, at this point in my life, 50 years would be tooooo long

Neither. My refinery will not take either one as the cost to get the silver out is more than the profit that can be had. Way too expensive to hoard. Do 90% dimes or such if a real limited budget.

They aren't something I would actively go into a shop and ask about but probably 50-60 cents on the Jeffs and 1.50-1.75 on the Kennedys.

Highest buyer I know is at 77.6c e.

That's ACE with silver at $17.74

What are there ? Like 16 coins if you're collecting both series.

I'll sell silver on Craigs and local, but I can't give the war nickels away. Guess I'll put them up on ebay for what I can get. Tired of seeing them. I bought a bunch of 40% that look good but they are hard to move. If I ever get them again it would only be at a very reduced price. More bulk I just don't need.

mkman123

I won't buy them as they are difficult to move. People are more interested in 90% instead vs 35% & 40%

Thanks for the experienced input

You can net 90% on ebay especially during an ebay bucks promotion

Cheap, cheaper, and cheapest. Given those choices, I will take cheapest. And by golly, I'll buy them proudly.

There must be some price at which it would be profitable to refine war nickels and 40 percent. Because they are so unpopular with stackers, I suspect that a higher percentage of these coins have been melted than the percentage of 90% silver.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 1944-S nickel is now scarcer than the 1950-D.

the refiners just bag them up and sell them out the back door , they are worth buying. If I had cash laying about I'd back up the truck at 60 cents each in volume and flip them on ebay

Thanks again for the info
