D. I have a buffalo nickel from 1937 Sanfransico mint and I had done a acid test only one the side of it and it came back silver what high value would it hold knowing they didnt make silver ones

I'm not sure what "acid test" you are doing in your basement but your nickel is made out of nickel and now that it has been subjected to acid, its collectible value has been compromised. If you weigh it you'll see it's pretty close to 5 grams and original. We buy these for 10-15 cents and sell them for 20-25 cents at shows.

We kindly ask you to limit your request to ONE item, preferably with images of both sides. We specialize in items that are older and of some historic importance. Please include photos of both sides if possible.
We may use your appraisal on our site as reference for others with the same item(s). We'll never display your personal information and will remove all sensitive information from your submission. Please contact us for a private appraisal. View our privacy policy.
Most inquiries we get are about circulated coins made after 1971, and/or coins where people mistake post-mint damage and wear for "errors". You can expect us to affirm these are face value. We ask that before you write and submit such questions, to PLEASE first read through our existing postings and our "what it's worth" primers.
