Lot 1176
1915 Buffalo Nickel. NGC graded Proof 67. A solid superb gem in all regards. The satiny surfaces are alight with sizzling luster, the strike is clear-cut, and the eye appeal is nothing short of exceptional. The 1915 has an original mintage of just 1,050 pieces. By the time these reached collectors, the contemporary public was confused by this style of Proof coinage with the result that a fair number of examples were melted as unsold at year's end. In terms of total number of coins believed extant, the 1915 is rarer than the 1914. Pop 32; 6 finer; 2 in 67 Star; 3 in 68; 1 in 69.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400.
