Lot 805		1920-S. PCGS graded MS-65+. A hint of light tone on both sides over frosty luster. A rare coin in this grade as this is one of the finest known of the date and mint, surpassed by only a single coin at the MS-66 level. As a date, 1920 San Francisco Buffalo nickels are plentiful enough in lower grades, but so few were saved that Mint State survivors always command attention when found in grades even approaching the gem level. Most seen are poorly struck by worn dies, somewhat visible here where minute striations appear in the fields from die wear. This towering coin is not only handsome, but technically superior to nearly every other 1920-S Buffalo nickel known. It belongs in one of the finest collections in the land. Pop 1; 1 finer in 66.

Lot 818		1937-D. 3 Legs. NGC graded MS-65. Lovely golden toning on both sides. Well struck by the dies with all the important diagnostics sharp. The surfaces are pristine showing ample luster and a touch of rose gold toning. Of course this issue was created by over zealous die lapping employed to remove clash marks. While not only removing the die clash marks, the foreleg of the bison was also removed, creating one of the most famous blunders of the Buffalo nickel series. Thee have been highly popular since discovered, and while most collectors have been able to secure a well circulated example, Gems like this are precious and few. Pop 58; 24 finer.
