Default Buffalo Nickels, How to determine worth ?

I have a few Buffalo nickels I found today in my place. Are these worth anything ?

If the date is worn off, they're worth about 7=A2 to 10=A2 (mostly for
use in jewelery). With a partially legible date, about 20=A2 each, and
if the date is all there then about 50=A2 each. These figures are for
common dates. If you need specific information, we need the date and the
mintmark (look under the buffalo for a little D or S, no letter means
Philadelphia). Most likely your coins are common but you might be lucky.
HTH.

Are you having a problem with your system?

If the date is worn off, they're worth about 7¢ to 10¢ (mostly for
use in jewelery). With a partially legible date, about 20¢ each, and
if the date is all there then about 50¢ each. These figures are for
common dates. If you need specific information, we need the date and the
mintmark (look under the buffalo for a little D or S, no letter means
Philadelphia). Most likely your coins are common but you might be lucky.

This is what he said and I just cut and pasted it. Reads fine to me.

For some reason when WEBTV posters use special symbols such as the "cents
sign", they don't come through properly here on AOL. They generally come
through as "A=2"....so Tim saw 7 cents as 7A=2, etc.

If you can't see a date or mint mark on them, the answer is "You don't have
much!"

Dates will wear off of buffalo nickels and the basic designs will still be
seen. As Steve said in his post (below), a dateless buffalo nickel will
still carry a small premium and the buyers will use them for jewelry.
Normally, though, you will need some type of quantity to make a dateless
buffalo nickel transaction worthwhile to the buyer. The date should be seen
on the bottom of the Indian head side, just left of center. If there is
just a smooth area there, the date is worn off. You might get some mileage
out of the nickels as trick or treat items tomorrow night. Bill

Define "not much" ...
