The photos are pretty terrible. (Not my pictures, they're the seller's.)
So, do you see anything that might be worthwhile here?

    My uneducated GUESS based on the poor photos is that MAYBE the 1918 Buffalo is 2 feathers ??????????? :)

    My eye sight and the low quality photos make it impossible to be sure, but my WAG:

    1. A 1914 D cent (somewhere in the Lincolns that appear to be from the teens); and

    2. A 1918/7 (or is it 1917/8?) Buffalo nickel,

    I have no clue, other than the date on buffalo nickel at the top right of the photo just hints to me that it may be the over date.

    The undersize V nickel may be struck on a dime planchet OR it may have been machined down to be part of a magician's coin.

    Is the 1918 nickel an 8/7? Closer examination is needed.

    I see a 1919S Lincoln but if my eyes are deceiving me if it's a 1909S (either way) it's wort a few bucks).

    The V-nickel is undersized, there is a small chance it was struck on a foreign or dime planchet, more likely it was cut down to dime size to fool a vending machine.

    The Buffalo in the upper right is a 1916 but I cannot make out any markers to make me think it is the DDO.

    Other than that, nothing struck my eye. I take a lot of fliers on lots like this on eBay, and frankly I probably would have flown right by this one without placing a bid.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    if you are the buyer, you will have to show pics of the good stuff (when it shows up). If you did not win, at least tell us what it sold for.
