    My guess is that "D" mintmark on that quarter looks very clear for an P-01 coin.

    Are you two okay? It is a joke. In order for a nickel to be silver, it has to be a counterfeit (war nickels excluded). The seller described the auction as a "silver coin lot".

    Welllll....i just assume sellers mean silver colored and not silver content. I mean most pennies are called coppers even thought they are bronze or zinc now a days. :) And I call em baby coppers. :) LOL - I just never think at that level. I guess someone would give him a 1 or 2 for description - when in reality all the coins are silver colored. So now is a description a 1 or 5 for accurate. So - how picky would you all be in the rating? Notice the smiley faces and don't take this seriously.

    So what's the problem. Here you have someone selling one of those really, really rare Pure Silver Indian Head Nickels. Not a fake but one of those really, really rare coins. :smile:whistle:

    Looks like an honest mistake, seller is in Canada and doesn't realize Buffalo nickels have no silver. Probably assuming silver color = silver content.
