If you had 20 rolls of buff nickels (or more)

laserart · April 13, 2011 10:23PM

what would you do with them?

ambro51 · April 13, 2011 10:24PM

ebay

seriously, I think that dateless buff nickels are marketable. They are a consumable used in handmade jewelry.

laserart · April 13, 2011 10:46PM

Far from dateless, though some are I suppose.

I would sort them by grade and sell them by the roll on the BST forum.

ricko · April 13, 2011 10:56PM

Send them to me for proper long term care and comfort.

Cheers, RickO

I'd take them to the bank and get me two fresh $20 bills!

I keep them in rolls right next to my Ike rolls.

Send them to the Chuck E. Cheese Legal Defense Fund in Des Moines , Iowa

I am looking for at least three rolls of them to use in my antique slot machine.

Sell them if you don't need them or keep them if you need them just don't spend them. Did that help

PS: What does a worn Buff go for now? Say a 1938-D in VF.

I'd check for varieties before anything else...

Now, that's a great use for them and one I hadn't heard of. Those old mechanical one-armed bandits were made to run on Buff's and V's using them again would be a great complement to your machine.

Sell the best 40 of 'em here or on eBay and have fun with the semi-culls by spending them in stores, vending machines, kids' lemonade stands, etc. so perhaps young, non-collectors will have the thrill of discovering them and even become numismatists one day.

I have a nice 1930's Mills Castlefront 5c slot machine they'd look great in!

tahoe98 · April 14, 2011 7:39AM

...have a give away! we'll take 'em off your hands.

I thought about as a joke getting a Whitman folder and filling it with dateless Buffalos, with the dates wrote trek with a Sharpee marker. Overdates would be written literally--"1918/7" for example.

Made me laugh.

Are these rolls with or without dates?

Baley · April 16, 2011 7:45AM

I agree, one needs a lot more information about the composition of the lot.

If they're mostly ave circ. late date or dateless coins, roll em up and ebay em, maybe spend a few for fun, maybe nik a date a few dateless but mintmarked coins, also for fun.

If well-mixed, possibly assemble a partial set of the best ones, separate any coins with dates or grades worth more than bulk, then do above plan with the rest.

EXCELLENT!

2 Gem Crisp $20's graded 69 or 70 PPQ by PCGS are worth far more so llafoe may be onto something here
