1920-S. PCGS graded MS-65. Light golden toning on both sides over satin luster. This is the second rarest Bufflao nickel behind only the 1926-S in gem condition. The 1920-S even tops the 1925-S for this honor! To date a scant 20 have been certified by PCGS as MS-65 with a single coin finer! Hence collectors must do battle to obtain one of these gem rarities when they come to market. Demand far exceeds supply for this condition rarity and any collector who demands the best would do well to secure this coin. The strike on this coin is sharper than often seen, but typical of San Francisco in this era the Indian's feathers are not crisp but the bison has a full horn and more definition that often seen. This date is well known for soft strikes! Therefore, if you have been seeking a reasonably well struck, gem example of the 1920-S for your collection, then prepare to bid high to capture this desirable example. Pop 20; 1 finer in 66 (PCGS # 3946) .
Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000.
