Lot 384		1914-D Buffalo Nickel. AU-50. A bit too reflective, perhaps this one was cleaned. Scarce in this grade. View details	Realized $132
Lot 385		1914-S Buffalo Nickel. AU-58. A slider that boasts lovely toning and clean surfaces. View details	Realized $104
Lot 386		1915 Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded Matte Proof 66 Premium Quality. We cannot find a blemish of any kind, even under 14x magnification, on this truly Superb coin. It's the color of fine champagne--gold with hues of lilac iridescence. We've reviewed many Buffalo Proofs, but not many have approached this coin for sheer beauty and virtual perfection. If any Matte Proof nickel deserves a 67 or 68 number, this essentially perfect coin sure does. View details	Unsold
Lot 387		1915-D Buffalo Nickel. AU-58. Well struck, with clear lettering and device detail. View details	Realized $109
Lot 388		1915-S Buffalo Nickel. AU-58. Lustrous and well struck for the date. Only faint evidence of circulation. View details	Realized $322

Lot 390		1916-D Buffalo Nickel. AU-50. Sharply impressed and with some luster remaining. A few minor spots from age, showing how coins can be distinctly human at times. View details	Realized $98
Lot 391		1916-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-61. Fully lustrous and untoned, with few signs of contact. Flat tail on the bison, a San Francisco specialty. View details	Realized $253
Lot 392		1917-D Buffalo Nickel. AU-50. Nice for the grade, with a small area of specks before the bison's face. View details	Realized $109
Lot 393		1917-S Buffalo Nickel. EF-45. Well struck for the issue, and wholly wooly on the buffalo-like bison reverse. View details	Realized $173
Lot 394		High Grade 1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel. EF-45. The key overdate of the Buffalo nickel series. In fact, this is the Chief of the series, the king of the bisons. The overdate is very clear to the eye. As to the surfaces, they are very pleasant and original, the only complaint is a minor mint caused planchet flaw over the word FIVE, but not affecting the mintmark. Full horn on the bison, and very desirable. View details	Realized $4,600
Lot 395		1918-D Buffalo Nickel. EF-45. Struck on flawed planchet, with some minor laminations on the obverse. Streaky gold toning. View details	Realized $127
Lot 396		1918-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-61. Rose-gold and hazy yellow toning on each side, and well struck from cracked dies. There is a small planchet flaw over the ribs of the bison. Scarce and always in demand. View details	Realized $316

Lot 398		1919-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-62. Original surfaces with light toning and pleasing crispness on the lettering and devices. Struck from a clashed reverse die, notably above the bison. Seldom seen in this grade. View details	Realized $518
Lot 399		1920-D Buffalo Nickel. EF-45. Sharp, with a full horn on the reverse. View details	Realized $201
Lot 400		1920-S Buffalo Nickel. AU-55. Light russet and blue toning on both sides, softly impressed on the bison. View details	Realized $178

Lot 403		1924-D Buffalo Nickel. EF-45. Cleaned to an unnatural brightness, nevertheless, well struck and otherwise problem free. View details	Realized $92
Lot 404		1924-S Buffalo Nickel. EF-45. Choice for the grade. View details	Realized $1,265

Lot 406		1925-D Buffalo Nickel. AU-50. Struck with the often seen buffalo-mush around the reverse periphery, making details weak. View details	Realized $184
Lot 407		1925-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-61. The obverse strike is full, with weakness on only a few letters of LIBERTY: the reverse shows a minor die crack and a small lamination, and is softer struck than the obverse. View details	Realized $1,553
Lot 408		1926 Buffalo Nickel. NGC graded MS-66. Russet to gold toning on both sides atop the blazing luster. Boldly struck and without the usual signs of contact, making this gem head and shoulders above most others. View details	Realized $184
Lot 409		1926-D Buffalo Nickel. EF-40. Original. View details	Realized $121
Lot 410		1926-S Buffalo Nickel. VF-30. Well struck, just lightly circulated. View details	Realized $391
Lot 411		1927-D Buffalo Nickel. AU-50. Choice for the grade. View details	Realized $82
Lot 412		1927-S Buffalo Nickel. AU-55. Lustrous on both sides, with minor circulation marks. View details	Realized $150
Lot 413		1928 P,D,S and 1929 P,D,S Buffalo Nickel. About Uncirculated to Uncirculated. Typical buffalo nickel strikes, with softness on the composite native American and the reverse bison, especially on the mintmarked issues. Lot of 6 coins. View details	Realized $253
Lot 414		1928-D Buffalo Nickel. MS-65. The "28" in the date is finely doubled. Unusual. And, this is a Gem BU with a pretty good strike and bright, clean surfaces. Worth some study by specialists. View details	Unsold
Lot 415		1930 P, S Buffalo Nickel. About Uncirculated to Uncirculated. Lot of 2 coins. View details	Realized $115

Lot 418		1934 through 1938-D Buffalo Nickel. About Uncirculated to Uncirculated. Lot of 12 coins. View details	Realized $334
Lot 419		1936 Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded Proof 67. A superb satin proof example of this date. The surfaces are graced with delicate rainbow toning and the devices are all crisp and sharp. No signs of handling here, even with the aid of a magnifier. Acres of pristine surfaces are the rule. One of the higher graded examples of this lovely Proof. Although a few have been graded higher, this is the best of the "available" grades. View details	Realized $1,208
Lot 420		1937-D Buffalo Nickel. 3 legged. ANACS graded AU-50. A delightful coin that is totally original. One small spot below the bison's personal area. The three legged oddity was created when clash marks were filed off the reverse die, which also removed the leg as well as the clash marks. Well struck and worth a strong bid. View details	Realized $529
Lot 421		1937-D Buffalo Nickel. 3 legged. AU-50. One of the most popular Buffalo nickel errors, the 3 legged bison was the result of a quick-fix to a common minting problem. Having a daily order to fill of nickels, the coiner noticed that the reverse die had clashed badly with the obverse (this occurs when the dies strike each other without a planchet between them), with design elements of the obverse now visible on the reverse die. Normally, the dies would be replaced, but instead they were carelessly filed down, accidently removing the forward leg of the bison. All that remains is the hoof and lower shoulder.

Lot 424		1938-D Buffalo Nickel. NGC graded MS-65. Very PQ here. Bright nickel-blue and gold surfaces with nary a mark. View details	Realized $35
Lot 425		1938 Jefferson Nickel. PCGS graded Proof 65. Nickel-blue color and nearly flawless. In a 1st generation slab. View details	Realized $52
Lot 426		1950 Jefferson Nickel. PCGS graded Proof 67. Fully brilliant mirrors and just about perfect. If you are going to collect modern coins (well, it is 50 years old now, isn't it?), they should all look like this! View details	Unsold
