Does anyone know the value of a 1937 or 1938 Buffalo nickel in uncirculated condition?
I have a belt buckle with 6 Buffalo nickels inlaid on it. The four facing up are 1937 and 1938, I am sure the other two probably are as well. My grandfather received this many years ago and it has been passed down to me. The cover on the buckle is a little damaged, and it has yellowed from it being cracked I suppose. But all the nickels are in excellent condition. I am pretty sure they have never been in circulation, or if so, probably not for long. We have no coin shops anywhere in our area and I don't trust a pawn shop to give me a reasonable estimate, if they would even know anything about these coins.
1937 is $20 in uncirculated.
1938 is $20 in uncirculated.
But 2 things the mintamrk is on the back of the coin and will increase the value by ten dollars if it is S.
And taking them out of the buckle may damage the coin and no dealer would by it in the buckle for that price.
