Hey,
A trusted dealer offered me a 1938-D NGC Ms-65 Buffalo nickel for $48.00...
Is this a Good buy?
Thanks,

  • You buying the coin or the plastic? $48 for the plastic seems about right....how does the coin look to you?

    Do you like the coin?

    Even if you paid $10.00 too much, if you like the coin...

    Have you looked at Teletrade or Ebay to compare prices?

    $40 to $45 sounds good

  • I called the guy today and he said i might be interested in it. I have not seen it, but he said He would hold it for me if I was.
    I don't have to buy it until i see it... Ebay has a BIN of $49.00, so I guess it is a OK buy.
    Pretty good grade also: MS65

    I'd have to see the coin... there's a small jump to 66, and they can be MUCH nicer. If the coin isn't a high end 65, and a very high end 65, pass on it.

    You're not getting gouged..........put it that way.

    Being the last year of issue, 38-D is the single most available UNC coin in the series.

    Everybody saved them.

    They will never be rare....but they will always be a good deal for anyone who wants a nice specimen of a Buff.
