I randomly came across a tube of buffalo nickels in a odd-box-lot of awesome lab-glass at an auction about a year ago.
I had started to look into them back then, but since I know nothing about coin collecting, it was hard to keep engaged, so I kinda just left them on the to-sell shelf.
I started again to sort them tonight as I was preparing to list a bunch of stuff, and I think i have too many questions to feel comfortable listing them without looking into them a bit more.
I feel as though I've identified them all, but I am having issues figuring out what to list them for, if I should list them in one lot, or break them up into years and mint marks... you know, those kind of questions.
Conditions vary, but most seem to be in what I would consider circulated shape, like you would get as change from a store (but again, I don't know how coin conditions are defined).
I'll post a list of what's there. anyone mind sharing some generalized insight on the list for me?
1916-S x 4
1916-? x 1
1916-D x 21
1917-S x 1
1917-? x 1
1917-D x 8
1918-D x 1
1918-S x 5 (1 looks pretty well to be a two feather version)
1919-S x 5
1920-S x 1
Any insight or opinions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
