Lot 959
1917-S Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded MS-65. Light golden toning on both sides. A nice strike with only one small mark in the hair above the braid limited the grade to 65 instead of 66 or higher. It has been observed by others as well as ourselves that the preponderance of the 4.1 million buffalo nickels made at San Francisco in 1917 went into circulation and remained there until worn. As such, this date is best described as scarce in all Mint State grades. Pop 72; 22 in 66 (PCGS # 3936) .
Estimated Value $3,800 - 4,000.
