<p>[QUOTE="bugo, post: 2009612, member: 53226"]I found this listing on ebay and it had several bids on it. I bid on it and won the auction. The listing said there were "7 war nickels" but all of the Jefferson nickels were 1938-early 1942. It also contained a very worn 1884 V nickel and a 1936 buffalo in fair condition. The quarters and dime are worth face and are in terrible condition. The "foreign coin" is a Swiss 10 rappen coin. I bid on it for the war nickels. I should have looked at the pictures closer but the auction was about to end so I bid on it quickly. I informed the seller that there were no war nickels in the collection and told him what war nickels were. He was either ignorant or playing dumb about what a war nickel is. The other Jeffersons have lots of wear except for the 1938, which is quite nice. What is each individual coin worth? The seller said that he would make it right with me. I estimated the value of each coin but I'm no expert. I'm guessing the 1938 nickel is the most valuable of the coins. Yes, I got hosed and it was my fault, but I was deceived whether intentionally or not and I learned my lesson.</p><p> </p><p>Here is the listing and some pictures:</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/COIN-COLLECTION-V-NICKELS-WAR-NICKELS-QUARTERS-DIMES-AND-MORE-/121457409201?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=u2uOMB2IQCHI8pl8liHiuUy76L0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/COIN-COLLECTION-V-NICKELS-WAR-NICKELS-QUARTERS-DIMES-AND-MORE-/121457409201?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=u2uOMB2IQCHI8pl8liHiuUy76L0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/COIN-COLLECTION-V-NICKELS-WAR-NICKELS-QUARTERS-DIMES-AND-MORE-/121457409201?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=u2uOMB2IQCHI8pl8liHiuUy76L0%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/collectionobverse_zps21311d59.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u126/bugo348/collectionreverse_zpsee37c1ad.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
