    Buffalo Nickel
    Howdy again everyone!

    I have found a perfect condition, non-replica, readable Buffalo nickel! The ONLY thing I cannot read is the date.

    Any good prices? It looks really old but is in great condition. :) Thanks. Bye.

    If you cannot read the date it is not in good condtion and is practically worthless except for the fact it is worth 5 cents. Had the nickel had any date at all it could possibly be worth something. But in that condition it, unfortunately, is not. Sorry.

    It has all four legs- I will go and look for a magnifying glass right now, and it has no visible mint mark- what is a mint mark, anyway?

    The mint mark is a tiny letter. Usually an S for Sacramento or an O for New Orleans or a D for Denver. The Philadelphia mint does not use any letters. The mint mark is found near the date of the coin on some coins or on the reverse of the coin.

    Your nickel is just an ordinary nickel unfortunately. If you can't read the date you can't really sell it for any profit. Sorry.
