Lot 1222
1913 Buffalo Nickel. Type 1. NGC graded Proof 66. Near-perfection in a Proof Buffalo Nickel, including strike and eye appeal. If you wish to see the most complete, full expression of what James Earle Fraser intended his design to be, take a peek at this Gem! First year of the Matte Proof finish on the Five-Cent piece (why, if Matte Proof Cents first appeared in 1909, was the matte finish not applied to Nickels beginning in that year?).
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,250.
