<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nickelsorter2017, post: 3359405, member: 87853&quot;]Buffalo nickels are expensive in nice low grade condition for all but the highest mintage dates. And, they&#039;ve been picked through... you won&#039;t find any in a dealer&#039;s old stock.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Dateless&quot; buffalo nickels are bought by dealers for face value or slightly above. The Philly ones are easily found for sale by dealers at less than 50 cents each.&nbsp; The mintmarked ones are harder to find. The total cost to me to put nickel date restorer on that 1913 d type 2 coin I found was less than 50 cents (one drop on front, one drop on back, plus cost of coin). There is no risk in restoring dates on buffalo nickels which cost you less than 50 cents each. I&#039;d bet that 1913 d would turn up in a dealer&#039;s inventory at $5.00 or more, as would the 1913 d type 1 and 1913 s type 1 that I found too. Chances are I won&#039;t lose any money on the coins that I bought - the trick was to stay away from the Philly dates, as you can buy partial dates for about a $1 each and those are considered &quot;collectible&quot; unlike the &quot;dateless&quot; buffalo nickels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
