How much is the gold in a buffalo nickel worth?

Answer 1

Assuming you have a buffalo nickel (i.e. FIVE CENTS on the back, correct?) it's an ordinary nickel that's been plated. Unfortunately the plating destroyed its numismatic value. It could have been worth about $3 in average condition but with plating it's only a curiosity piece.

Answer 2

I sent my gold buffalo to a place today called American Gold and Silver Exchange. They offered me $931.70. I accepted the offer. You should look at there website. http://www.americangoldandsilverexchange.com Hope this helped.

Answer 3

the buffalo gold coin is worth $0.60,[60 cents], because if you watch the commercial for the coin, it says one ounce of gold is worth $1,300 and up. at that point you would think its worth $1,300 but also in the commercial it says the proof coin is made with 14 milligrams of gold. it would take over 70,000 milligrams of gold to make one ounce of gold. so your getting 14 milligrams of gold on a coin made of metal. I'm going to buy the coin because as a gold liker i want it. but if your intention s to buy it and wait awhile and sell it, you wouldn't make a tenth of what you bought the coin for. but if your going to sell it on eBay, stretch the price to a good amount. example:$50-$100. for you, hopefully you get some random person to buy it. now I'm getting off topic.

here is a summary: a copy of the buffalo gold coin is being sold for about $14.00, $9.95 plus shipping and handling, when the coin their selling is worth $0.60. common whoever is reading this, 14 milligrams is covering a metal coin. buy it if you like gold and the coin. otherwise get it off your mind and find something else to buy. hope you found and find this helpful.

Answer 4

Nothing, because the coins don't contain any gold. All buffalo nickels are made of the same 25% nickel / 75% copper alloy used in modern nickels. internet rumors notwithstanding, NO buffalo nickels ever contained any silver, either.

The US never minted a gold nickel - for one thing, five cents' worth of gold would be so tiny you'd need a pair of tweezers to pick it up.

Answer 5

Buffalo nickels have never been made silver. They were made from an alloy of copper and nickel. The value is roughly around $1. To get a more detailed answer simply ask another question structured like this, "What is the value of a <date> US nickel". If your coin is from another denomination simply change "nickel" to the correct denomination.

Answer 6

This is just one of the so-called "Tribute Proof" coins sold on TV that has no numismatic value, but they do sell on eBay for some reason, check that web site for a idea of value.
