1919-D Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded MS-65. Nice golden toning. Well struck for this date. The 1919-D is a noteworthy addition to any buffalo nickel collection, both in terms of availability in high-quality Mint State and from a general "quality" perspective. The end of World War I in November 1918 saw a reduction in the production of most denominations other than the Lincoln cent. As far as the Denver Mint is concerned, the total number of nickels delivered that year amounted to a little more than 8 million pieces. Most of these went into circulation. Furthermore, the '19-D is one of the more problematic dates to locate with sharp striking detail. Our offering of this gorgeous MS65 Gem, therefore, provides an opportunity for the shrewd collectors who realize the importance of the date in high grade.
The strike is almost certainly the fullest that one can realistically expect to encounter on a 1919-D nickel. All design elements are sharp and there are no carbon spots or flyspecking to cause you to turn away, no areas of bothersome incompleteness of detail on either side, either. Pop 53; 13 in 66, none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 3942) .
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
