1924-S Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded MS-65. A well struck lustrous gem! The 1924-S with 1.4 million pieces produced is one of the most difficult semi-keys to the buffalo nickel series. The rarity of this issue is such that it is elusive in higher circulated as well as Mint State grades. Everyone agrees that the '24-S generally comes with an adequate to better than average strike. Compare this to the usual miserable 1925-S and the almost impossible 1926-S. In addition to overall crispness of strike, this lovely Gem MS65 displays attractive original color. Both sides are layered in well-blended champagne, dusky lavender-gray, and brownish colors. The luster is both full and pleasing with its satin smoothness, soft rather than hard like the luster of a P-mint nickel. There are no obvious marks or carbon flecks, we are happy to say, and the eye appeal is among the best that we have seen on this elusive S-mint nickel. Pop 32; only one better by a point. (PCGS # 3953) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
