Lot 1201
1928-S. PCGS graded MS-65. CAC Approved PQ. Housed in an Old Green Holder. A hint of light gold toning on both sides. Well struck with no spots. The allure of the S mintmark resulted in considerable hoarding of 1928-S Nickels. This did not occur until the 1940s and 1950s, however, and by that time virtually all examples encountered by the public had already acquired significant wear. Coins that grade even problem-free EF and AU examples are quite scarce.
The 1928-S may not be a leading strike rarity in the Buffalo Nickel series, but it is also seldom offered with full definition to both sides. The present example, therefore, is a noteworthy find in that all devices are free of bothersome lack of detail. Shimmering with full, satiny luster, the surfaces are superlative. Silver-bright in sheen, with a vivid, fresh appearance that is sure to endear this coin to the advanced Buffalo Nickel specialist. Ripe for a top quality Registry set. Pop 64; 6 finer in 66 (PCGS # 3965) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400.
