What your buffalo & war nickels can borrow
Michigan pawn law, in plain English
Pawnbrokers in Michigan are state licensed and regulated. Here's exactly what that means for you.
- Interest and storage fees are set and capped by Michigan pawnbroker law — the numbers are on your ticket before you sign.
- You receive a written pawn ticket listing the item, the amount loaned, the charges and the due date.
- Your item is tagged, photographed and held in our secured, alarmed vault — never sold while the loan is active.
- You can renew the loan any time by paying the charges due; there is no penalty for paying early.
- No credit check, no credit reporting, no collections. If the loan isn't repaid, the obligation simply ends.
Prefer to sell?
Coin collections are often pawned rather than sold — you get the liquidity without breaking up a set you spent years building.
FAQ
Pawning buffalo & war nickels — your questions.
How do I spot a silver war nickel?+
Look for a large mint mark letter above the dome of Monticello on the back, on coins dated 1942 through 1945. That large letter means 35% silver.
My Buffalo nickels have no visible date. Are they worth anything?+
Dateless Buffalos have minimal collector value, but we still buy them in bulk. Bring them along with the rest.
What's the three-legged Buffalo nickel?+
A 1937-D variety where a die polishing error removed one of the buffalo's front legs. It's a genuine rarity and also commonly faked, so we authenticate before quoting.
