Buffalo Nickels

Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1336		1921-S. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ. CAC Approved. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Lovely rich golden toning on both sides. Among the Finest Known. All of this issue's mintage was coined during the latter half of the year. It is doubtful that any of these coins were needed at the time, and they were probably not released until the coining of nickels resumed late in 1923. The production of nickels would be suspended in 1922 at this Western mint, only to be resumed in the latter months of 1923. The post-World War I recession that seemed to come on in 1919 but then ebbed, gripped the nation anew in 1921 and slowed the demand for coinage. Fewer than 1.6 million 1921-S Nickels were coined for this issue. This appealing high-grade specimen secretly tiptoes around most of the problems often associated with this often weak and dull issue. The luster is strong. Like on most pieces in the Forsythe group, it has eye-appeal. Oceans of eye-appeal. The toning that covers the piece appears in varying strips, as opposed to the sometimes-uneven splotches that appear on other examples. The strike average to better than average and is far superior to the usual weak coins, in spite of a touch of softness on the bison's head and shoulder, and the duly well preserved surfaces have scarcely any marks. Pop 8; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 3948) Estimated Value $13,000 - 15,000 The Gerald Forsythe Duplicate Buffalo Nickel Collection.

Lot 1340		1923-S. PCGS graded MS-66. Boldly struck and primarily untoned. A very difficult date to find in this grade. Fully lustrous -- an important and rare feature for this not all that well preserved issue -- the surfaces display dominant pearl-white color as they beam with originality. Struck with exactly the required mathematical precision by the dies in which all areas of the Indian�s profile and the buffalo Black Diamond, not just some, are complete, detailed, and accomplished by a highly successful strike. Pop 3; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 3950) Estimated Value $12,000 - 15,000 The Gerald Forsythe Duplicate Buffalo Nickel Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $32,200
Lot 1341		1923-S. PCGS graded MS-65. Well struck with nice toning on both sides. A simply stunning example for the '23-S date, the strike is noteworthy for this often poorly produced design. The focal features are all beautifully original, and the luster is full with a richly frosted sheen beneath the toning. Where a collector might expect to see the usual deviation from the sharp relief of a P-mint 1923, mainly in the centers of the coin where the design often failed to completely fill the dies when San Francisco issued a coin, this standout specimen takes the opposite road by being boldness personified! Pop 42; 4 finer, 1 in 65+, 3 in 66 (PCGS # 3950) Estimated Value $4,700 - 4,900 The Gerald Forsythe Duplicate Buffalo Nickel Collection.

Lot 1344		1924-D. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. CAC Approved. Housed in a First Generation Holder. Above average strike with rich toning on both sides. Should be in a MS66 holder. An intensely beautiful Buffalo nickel, a coin with superb iridescent luster and a strike that while note full, is still close to complete. Predominant nickel-blue color is surrounded by a tint of gold toning and tells us that the present specimen spent much of its life in an old coin envelope or Wayte Raymond style album. About as fully struck as these are likely to be found. Pop 102; 3 finer in 66 (PCGS # 3952) Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,200 The Gerald Forsythe Duplicate Buffalo Nickel Collection.

Lot 1345		1924-S. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. CAC Approved. Housed in an Old Green Holder. A hint of light tone and well struck for this rare date. A definite highlight in any collection of Buffalo Nickels would be this memorable 1924-S Nickel that stands as one of the finer, more charismatic survivors of this semi-key-date issue. All areas sport resolute luster, silver-white underneath light champagne gold iridescence. Impressive to say the least, and sharp in the striking category, neither side reveals what we would classify as distracting or otherwise noticeable lack of detail. Smooth and satiny, with the strongest eye appeal many collectors will ever see in a '24-S Buffalo. Original mintage was a meager 1.4 million pieces, most of which were rather poorly struck. Many of them have long since been worn out in circulation. Pop 39; 1 finer in 66 (PCGS # 3953) Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000 The Gerald Forsythe Duplicate Buffalo Nickel Collection.

Lot 1349		1925-D. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. CAC Approved. Housed in a First Generation Holder. Lovely rose and golden toning. A prominent strike and condition rarity in the Buffalo Nickel series, the 1925-D is just as taxing to locate in the finest Mint State grades as the 1919-D, 1919-S, 1920-S, 1925-S and 1926-D. One can imagine our delight, therefore, at being able to present this beautiful Forsythe Collection Gem to the advanced Buffalo Nickel collectors among our bidders. A coin that impresses one and all because both sides have above average devices for the issue with overall bold definition on the buffalo and only modest weakness on the Indian. Trivial lack of highpoint detail on the obverse could point to it having been kept in the coining press beyond its normal production cycle. The toning is sublime as well, with the surfaces fully lustrous, satiny in sheen and silent on the subject of grade-limiting blemishes or spotting. We could detail a whole list of positive attributes that this coin has. A '25-D Nickel high in the Condition Census!

Lot 1351		1925-D. PCGS graded MS-65. Light even toning and a better than average strike. The blazing nickel-white surfaces are smooth from rim to rim with no carbon to report and free of marks. Well struck and fully lustrous examples are few and far between on the �25-D, both sides possess eye appeal to spare.

Lot 1352		1926. PCGS graded MS-66. CAC Approved. A hint of light gold tone. The "19" is somewhat weak in the date.

Lot 1353		1926-D. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ. CAC Approved. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Boldly struck for this date with lovely toning. A blazing gem-level luster with highly concentrated frost on the high points plus almost ostentatious eye appeal. Don't mind the lack of weakness at the bison's shoulder as typically seen for this issue, the coin is downright bold, which has clearly been taken into consideration by the grading service in assigning the MS66 grade! David Lange, who published the definitive work on Buffalo Nickels, says "… certified coins would likely be higher if not for the fact that the poor quality of most uncirculated 1926-D nickels discourages submissions." The poor quality that he describes includes a weak strike (evident on the bison's horn, often either flat or missing) and often poor luster, which he terms "average or below average" in most cases, or with "subdued brilliance." The present coin is a bold alternative to those one finds day to day in the coin marketplace. We expect to see strong bidding action. Pop 24; 2 finer, 1 in 66+, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 3958) Estimated Value $6,800 - 7,200 The Gerald Forsythe Duplicate Buffalo Nickel Collection.

Lot 1354		1926-S. PCGS graded MS-65. Premium Quality. Wonderful toning on both sides. Well struck. Long regarded as a key date in the series, the 1926-S Buffalo nickel reached a series low when only 970,000 pieces were struck. The issue is particularly hard to pin down in Mint condition with Gems obtainable only on rare occasions. The Forsythe specimen is a strong candidate for World Class honors, since it is tied with just a few other specimens certified at this level by PCGS, with none finer. The consistent technical quality of this piece is fully harmonized by the important subjective aspect we all know at once but often find difficult to put into words: eye appeal. A memorable coin in this grade. To say there were virtually no collectors for the 1926-S nickel the year it came out is simple fact; the majority of the production went into circulation. Few were saved; original rolls are something to imagine in a Wizard of Oz realm, they never have existed. Today, collectors attach great importance to the issue, more so as the years slip by. The situation would change dramatically were a few dozen to turn up as if by magic in gem grade, but this isn�t about to happen, Mint State specimens have dwindled to almost nothing in the marketplace. According to Bowers, "Among Mint State 1926-S nickels, many are dull, stained, artificially toned, or otherwise unsatisfactory -- including more than a few in certified holders. The striking is unremarkable, the result of inaccurate die spacing and, perhaps, keeping dies in the press too long." Well, this specimen is a step above those unremarkable ones, several steps above, in fact. The strike is much bolder than normally seen, with only residual softness on the bison's head and none in the Indian's hair. The surfaces delight the viewer with their lustrous glow and delicate original patina. Overall the appearance is unapproachable; the well-preserved surfaces mark-free. Everyone should jump at the chance to acquire this prime example, since few others exist in a similar state of preservation and these may lie hidden for decades. Pop 14; none finer at PCGS.

Lot 1355		1927. PCGS graded MS-66. CAC Approved. Well struck and mostly untoned. Pop 283; 13 finer, 7 in 66+, 6 in 67 (PCGS # 3960) Estimated Value $275 - 325 The Gerald Forsythe Duplicate Buffalo Nickel Collection. View details and enlarged photos Check results on similar lots	Realized $460
Lot 1356		1927-D. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ. CAC Approved. Light golden toning. Well struck for this date. Were it not for the small D mintmark below FIVE CENTS on the reverse, a cursory glance might almost make someone believe this is a bold Philadelphia Mint issue that someone hand-picked from an original roll! Lustrous, mint-frosty surfaces put on a show with their rich nickel-bright iridescence, the overall appearance greatly reinforced by spinning luster. Regarding this date, it, along with 1925-D and 1926-D is notorious for its poor quality. Unlike the usual survivor, however, with its diminished impression left by a weak blow of the (possibly worn) dies, this handsome Gem is extraordinarily sharp from top to bottom, center to periphery. Pop 4; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 3961) Background Information: James Earle Fraser had made numerous studies of Native Americans before undertaking the task of creating an Indian head for the nickel. The obverse portrays a mature warrior facing right. His hair is braided in the style of the plains Indians with a ribbon securing the braid. Two feathers are affixed near the part of the hair, and a third one is only partly visible. The garment across his shoulder provides a foundation for the coin�s date, and Fraser's initial letter 'F' appears below the date. On both the original model and the struck coin, the subject appears to be in a contemplative state with eyes half closed. (For a detailed account of this fascinating coin, see David W. Lange's The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels.). Estimated Value $17,000 - 18,000 The Gerald Forsythe Duplicate Buffalo Nickel Collection.

Lot 1357		1927-S. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. CAC Approved. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Mostly untoned with lots of luster evident. An astonishing gem of the best possible order whose satiny surfaces play host to robust devices. Baking bright luster on satiny surfaces. That is how we would describe the color and surface flash. A touch of weakness as sometimes seen at the bison's shoulder on the reverse, is all but absent here, the shoulder, head and horn are all finely detailed; plainly, the dies were spaced just right and the coining press stamped the planchet with the requisite pressure to enable strong metal flow in the deepest recesses.

Lot 1362		1928-S. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ. CAC Approved. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Well struck with lovely light golden toning. A satiny gem of the finest order for this often unimpressive issue (due to poor strike detail). Explosive cartwheel luster underlies the faint champagne surfaces. Sharply struck for the date, easily finer in sharpness than most others nominally graded MS66.

Lot 1365		1929-D. PCGS graded MS-66. Boldly struck with lovely golden toning. The animated luster on both sides is full with a somewhat satin texture. This is a decidedly well-struck '29-D with good details, unlike most from the Denver Mint. It has no bothersome abrasions or points of wear, as is often the case, nor did the dies leave behind a less than rigid impression of softness in the centers. The main designs are fully defined.

Lot 1384		1936. Type 1. PCGS graded Proof 68 PQ. CAC Approved. Housed in a First Generation Holder. Only 4,420 minted. Lovely lavender and blue toning. A near perfect coin. A radiant gem of the kind of quality one likes to describe in a Proof Buffalo Nickel for bidders of this actively collected design. Careening mirror-deep luster blends easily with the toning highlights on the exquisite, near-perfect surfaces. When the sale of Proofs resumed in 1936 the brilliant style was restored, but without the frosted relief that had made earlier Proofs (Liberty and Shield nickels) so dramatic. The textured fields evident in Fraser�s original models and in the Type 1 coinage of 1913 had been refined by Charles Barber that same year when he prepared the Type 2 reverse. This made both obverse and reverse receptive to proper polishing, though such polishing also led to certain low-relief features of the dies being easily obliterated. Nevertheless, collectors were more enthusiastic now about the end product than they were during the years the "matte" Proofs of 1913-16 were produced. Alas, almost as soon as Proof coinage resumed, the buffalo nickel was discontinued in favor of the Jefferson type. This left only the issues of 1936 and 1937 obtainable to collectors desiring brilliant Proofs of this artistic design.
