Best Answer

In general yes. Coins without a mintmark are made at the Philadelphia Mint which is the main Mint and typically makes more coins per year, but a high grade coin can be worth more than a lower grade coin with a mintmark.

How much is a roll of 1938 nickels bu worth?

What you saw as an "E" is not a mint mark, and is actually an "F", the monogram of the coin's designer James Fraser. The mint mark on buffalo nickels is under the words FIVE CENTS. Plain (no mint mark) and "S" 1936 nickels are worth a dollar or two in average condition. "D" coins are worth slightly more.

How much are buffalo head nickels without any dates on them worth?

They usually sell for about 10 to 15 cents. Crafty people use them to decorate belts and make domed buttons. Note that these coins are called Buffalo Nickels or Indian Head Nickels, but not "Buffalo Head" nickels. After all, they show the whole buffalo and not just its head! ========================= The mint mark will be located on the back side under the words FIVE CENTS. Nickels minted in Philadelphia do not have a letter, though. Also, nickels minted from 1913 to 1925 had a design flaw that allowed their dates to wear off quickly. Unfortunately these "cull" nickels aren't worth much more than face value. The link below lists prices.

General things to know are:Most nickels minted since 1946 have little or no added value; the same is true for 1940 and 1941.1950-D nickels are moderately scarce and worth several dollars in average condition."War nickels" 1942-1945 with a large mint mark over Monticello are worth at least $1 because they contain a small amount of silver.Common-date buffalo nickels are worth at least $1 but that can go up for coins in better condition.Older-date buffalo nickels can be worth a couple of dollars or moreCommon-date Liberty nickels are worth at least $3; older ones can be (but not necessarily are) worth more.


Buffalo nickel with no penis on the buffalo?

What date? The picture on buffalo nickels issued from 1913 to 1938 was "sanitized". If that's what you have you need to post a new question with its date and whether there's a mint mark under the words FIVE CENTS. The new buffalo nickels issued in 2005 were, as the saying goes, anatomically correct. But they're quite common and aren't worth anything extra.


What are buffalo nickels worth with dates on them?

Unfortunately, Buffalo nickels are virtually worthless. The only valuable ones are error coins, I don't know them by heart just look them up online. Lets say you had a 1915 in perfect condition, you might get $10. I have to differ greatly with the above answer. There are non-error buffaloes that have sold at auctions for thousands of dollars. Check the related link below the answer for values of buffalo nickels. A buffalo nickel with no date on it will be worth at least 5 cents. The value of these coins are determined by the date, mint mark and condition of the coin.

How old do nickels have to be to be worth something?

Most nickels, especially those in circulation, are not worth much above their face value. However, certain older nickels, such as the 1942-1945 "War Nickel" that contains 35% silver, can have some numismatic value. Additionally, any nickel dated before 1938 may be valuable due to its scarcity and collector demand.
