[QUOTE="BostonMike, post: 256270, member: 7251"]EVery once in a while i get bored on ebay and decide to take chances on mislabed lots or lots by non-coin enthusiasts listed under different categories. Never anything big, usually a sub-$10 coin or lot of coins I took a chance on an auction for a 1919 buffalo nickel. All the description said was "old nickel, 1919 in some sort of cardboard flip" A regular 1919 isn't all that special, but i was thinking maybe it was a D or S mint??? So $1.99 plus shipping later, i bought myself the 1919 buffalo. I got it today.

Not sure if it's PCV so i'll wait for opinions before doing a dip. But i was happy when i saw the "D" mintmark on the reverse! BTW, included in the auction was a 1907 Indian Head cent that was in fairly good condition as well. So was it worth the $4.19 or whatever i spent for the IHC and this nickel???[/QUOTE]
