Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2660495, member: 19250"]First let me say it's  a pretty coin. By both grade and variety.But true value  on an item as such is only found by what another  will  pay.I am a collector  and one of my favorite  coins to collect  is the 5 cent piece . But unlike other coins they don't  hold their values.( Yeah a 1913  Liberty )  Buffalo's  have been on a downward  trend. Extremely  collected in the 50's and 60's now take a back burner  to many  other  series.And a series  that has some major variety  coins, and iconic coin. But a series  that one must know A - Z  about or you could end up over paying for a coin that really going to hard to liquidate.Having  had very rare nickels and trying  to  sell them is a waiting  game. I seen in many cases where book values  and what another is willing  to pay are very far a part . I see today's collector  willing  to  pay  for  a gold or silver coin more so than a copper or nickel base. No matter how rare.I sold a MS double Monticello  about 10 years ago a doctor in Fla . purchased it from me. The same coin in the grade I sold him today is -$400.00 under what he paid me.Unbelievable  as when I sold it ....I had seller remorse  now..  not  so much.[/QUOTE]
