Lot 1189
1917-S Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded MS-65. Nice even light toning on both sides. As seems likely, the majority of the 4.1 million buffalo nickels struck in the San Francisco mint this year entered circulation and stayed there until lost or worn out. As such, this issue is scarce in all grades. Gems are out-and-out rare, and all but a select few examples at the MS65 grade level will be less than full in strike. Fortunately for today's bidders, the coin in this lot is among the most sharply impressed 1917-S nickels we remember offering in some while. There are no deleterious marks nor other ill-defined aspects, and the technical quality further benefits from full satin luster. In fact, the entire coin covers the list of positive attributes. Pop 71; 21 finer in 66. (PCGS # 3936) .
Estimated Value $3,900 - 4,100.
