Are Buffalo Nickels Weakening

It seems like every coin I list for sale on Ebay with low starting bids receives a ton of attention - shown by bids and watchers. The only exception seems to be Buffalo Nickels which seem to not generate much attention at all. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Good, problem free buffs seem to be doing fine.

    A real nice set passed over the block at GC went for 'moon money'. Most were exceptional and went for multiples of book. Being a casual collector of Buffs, I bid a little over book on a few early on and wasn't even close, including a couple of the commons.

    I have found it to be across the board. However I have not attempted to sell any gem key dates such as the 1916 or 1918/7 overdates... I imagine those would be an exception to what I am finding.

    Keeping in mind that problem coins always take longer to sell, I did list 3 problem, slabbed key date buffalos on BST and have not received a single offer. I would have at least received a few lowballs and maybe one reasonable offer by now if they were key date Lincolns, Walkers, etc...

    From my observations - and I like and follow Buffs - this does not seem to be the case....Admittedly, I do not scrutinize all auctions on a daily basis.... so, there could be a trend I do not see. Cheers, RickO

    Not so long ago nice midgrade circ. Buff's were hot,hot, hot. Not so much now. Nice eye appealing MS Buff's are holding there own IMHO.

    Coins with damage can be tough to price. Half of price guide? 35%? 64%?
