Hi all,
I'm getting into the buying side of collecting these last couple weeks. I was offered some coins I don't usually buy and wanted to know what would be a low-high range for certain coins:
buff nicks (date)
buff nicks (dateless)
war nickel
Indian head pennies
merc dime
roosy dime
old dollar coins
Thanks!

| Why would a dateless buffalo be worth more than one with a date? |

| Looks about right. I like the buffs and Indians and am always on the lookout for good deals on them. (At least if I haven't already blown my allowance on silver!) |
Are you throwing that out? |

| I'm suprised at the 97 cents per war nickel; I can get them a lot cheaper at the coin store. |

| I'll keep that in mind. Also i think war nickels need to have the P on the back of the coin right? |

| i don't know about war nickels (35%), but 40% silver halves never sell for full melt value because the pm content is so low. |
Buying:
Peace/Morgan G+ at $15.00
copper cents at 1.3X
wheat pennies at 3X

| The war nickels will have a large P,D, or S over the top of Monticello. They did make 50 million 1942 that were not silver. Lemon Thrower, On this forum they may not sell for spot, but I am able to sell both 35% and 40% at full spot price. |

I've never gotten full spot on either of those. I'll never pay it either.
war nickels are next to worthless, maybe 50 cents each. |

I dont know alot about the Nick stuff but dont be afraid or shocked to well exceed the IH allowance stated, escpecially if you want to get any before the 1885 range. For these I would get a good coin book and jump on any of them you can get for 50-75% of there listed price. If you try and stick with the stated price you will most likely be sitting on a lot of 1900's in G condition and some 1880 culls or filler coins.
I would realistically put the IH in to three catagories:
1859-1880: look at the $2.5 - $6.00 range depending on grade and mint numbers
~1870's These you definently need the coin book some can be good buys in filler condition
1880-1894: look at the $1.00 - $3.00 range " "
1895-1908: look at the .80 - 1.25 range
And last the 1909: these are a diffrent coin all togather and really rather had to nail an exact price on but anything in the $5 range is a decent buy. |

| Oh if you need some more help on the IH I would send ScottyTX and PM, he seem to be pretty up on them and could probably give you a good ballpark and what he buys them for. |

I would pay 65 cents all day long for war nicks. I would dress up like the little mermaid and sing and dance for them @ 50 cents/each. 
and nobody wants to see that! |

| Agreed. Fifty cents for a five cent coin is nothing to sneeze at. |
Are you throwing that out? |

To continue this post a little further. I have 600 indian pennies i'm trying to sell now. these are common years and all are full date with most detail showing.
I don't want to sell to low, and the first solid offer i've been given was $528(cash) + $24(wheat pennies). |

| That is a decent offer. It is hard to get much over a buck a piece if they are common dates, unless the majority of them are from before 1900. Then you might try to get $1.10 to $1.25 for the ones before 1900. But if you bought them right and want to make a quick sale anything close to a buck a piece is about right. |

| I have called a ton of people and they all tell me that getting $1 a piece for 1900 common dates is pretty rare. But I don't want to give these away to someone who would just fork them over quickly... |

I have been offered a wide range of prices for these buggers an thankfully most of all of them are gone now, ~6,000 Indians all to realcent members. Thanks guys! I'm almost sick of seeing these things now but would gladly welcome 6,000 more for the price I paid. Back on topic, I'm thinking good quality solid common date Indians could get somewhere between .90-1.00 each. Buyers are thin in this price range but they are out there if one is patient enough. Bump the price down around .80-.85 each and there they go out the door. If someone offers .65-.75 cents each they are most likely wanting to flip them for a profit or they have a cheap supply elsewhere (lowballers). Rarely will you find buyers 1.00+ for commons as your beginning to approach strait "retail" pricing there. Just my thoughts on the matter as I extensively had to deal with price searching and finally decided to offer them a bit lower and keep them with the family. Thanks once again guys!

| I can't imagine buying 6,000 at one point in time. I don't even know i'd look for that many coins. |
