Lot 1198
1927-S. PCGS graded MS-65. CAC Approved PQ. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Semi-reflective fields with lovely toning. Writing in 2000, David W. Lange, the author on the definitive work on Buffalo Nickels states: "[The] 1927-S is generally well struck for an S-mint Nickel of the 1920s…" Based on his comment, we are of the opinion that extensive circulation is more the cause for the high-grade rarity of the '27-S than deficient striking quality. Since the PCGS Population of this issue falls off dramatically above the MS-64 level, we anticipate considerable competition for this sleek, reflective Gem with delicate toning among Registry Set collectors. Both sides exhibit dominant nickel-silver sheen with radiance to die for. The strike is overall sharp and free of criticism; best of all, there are no noteworthy distractions. Specialists who welcome originality as well as incomparable quality would be shrewd to enter strong bids for this impressive '27-S Nickel. Pop 21; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 3962) .
Estimated Value $16,000 - 18,000.
