The coins grade seem to be fair but could be better.

The 1945 Canadian 5 Cents is worth round about £1 over hear in the UK in America round about $1.50 if that. It's grade is F18 (british coin grading system).

The Other 5 Cents is worth round about the same price £1 or in the US $1.50 maybe not even that mainly because those coins are pretty common to find. However its grade is F15 (British coin grading system).

On the other hand the 1920 Indian Head 5 cents is worth a little more i would say. Judging by its grade which is F14 (british coin grading system) I would say this coin is worth round about £10 in the Uk and in the US round about $16.

It would be worth more if the grade was better, not only that the 1920 is not that rare a date for these type of coins.

Hope this helps.

 

The 1920 Buffalo is common, with over 63 million strikes that year from Philadelphia. Yours appears to be G, worth about $1.50 - $2.

 

Wow, the Canadian coins are worth far more overseas than they are here! The Canadian nickels sell for 5 for $1 (in that condition) in the bargain bins here.

 

I think you need new glasses. The photo is blurry and a little dark, so it's hard to tell, but it looks to me like that Buffalo could be XF. It's still a common date, though, so maybe $10?

 

Not even close to $10. I agree the photo clarity makes it difficult to make a good opinion on grade, but I don't see XF for that Buffalo.

Possible, VG, but that's a stretch in my opinion.

 

I'm looking at the apparent texture on the shoulders and haunches of the buffalo. It's a bad picture, but I think a good shot might even show a full horn.

Jagger, any chance you could borrow a camera that does close-up shots? I'm really curious now.

 

I'LL try to get better pic. and yes you can see full horn.. and how do i get pic on this thread with out starting new one

 

That coin is way above Good or VG.

All VF-40.

 

I'LL try to get better pic. and yes you can see full horn

 

this is about the best i can do

 

please have a look at these nickels also tell me what you think. thanks.

 

Based on those new pics, I see a lot more than what was in the first set of blurry pics.

F-VF.

Which proves that the quality of photos is key to making a good opinion on grade.

 

There is no need for your attitude either. I give respect to all here and expect the same in return.

 

Yes you are so right .Thank you all for your input

 

I meant no offense. I apologize for letting you take it.

I'm still seeing this buffalo as a VF35 at the very least, based on comparing its features to those visible in the Photograde series. But I find that simply using those photos for grading is tricky, and not always as good as using textual descriptions. The point of the horn is distinct (indicating XF), but the flank is flattened (indicating it doesn't make AU). Can you point to the specific wear features that I'm missing?

 

Actually grading from photos is less than 50% of what you can see in hand with a loupe. Hence the subjectivity of grading coins.

 

Your second set of Canadian nickels are all common dates. Catalog value is $3 for VG but again, I've been able to buy them for 25 cents or less.
