1937d Nickel Value

#1 Unread post by JDMonger »

This is my first post of this type so I hope I am within forum boundaries. As some of you know I am helping a friend liquidate his collection and am starting with the nickels. I have 4 shields, 12 Liberties, 154 Indian heads, 84 War and 509 Jeffersons (non-war). I will be taking these to a Roundtable Trading affiliated dealer next week. As I was going through these there were a few that caught my eye and I wanted to get an opinion on value. I've looked through the red book and guess I'm trying to validate what I am learning. The first coin is a 1937d nickel that is an AU-50? Value $10. Am I close? Thank you in advance for looking at this.

Through the images, I say this coin is high grade VF, possibly cleaned.

JTCC, thanks for the comment. I adjusted the lighting a bit and this seems to be a little clearer. Probably won't affect opinion. Thanks.

The coin has been cleaned and they sell for around a dollar like this.

Ditto.

BTW...remember the Red Book gives you a price of what you would expect to pay...not necessarily what it would sell for.

Nuts. Thanks Daniel, Earle and Paul. I know the red book is a guide and it ultimately comes down to supply and demand.

Supply and demand are an issue, but I believe "Desirability" is a key factor in collecting…JMO

I agree...as in all hobbies.

You can own a one f a kind object, but if the desirability is not there, it's not worth much except the appreciation you have for it..
