Lot 978
1923-S Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. Light golden toning on this Premium Quality gem. Well struck and very choice. Lovely natural color plays upon the luster whose satiny texture makes this a darling of a gem buffalo nickel. Even the more patient buyer will have to wait sometimes years to find a well struck coin of this year. PCGS's discriminating standards are amply displayed here: the present gem is deliberately struck for the date. There is no half-hearted rendition from the dies here. Certainly as finely produced as the marvelous coin pictured in the Lange reference book, with only a modicum of faintness present on either side. For reference, it is noted that the present gem has been exceeded in grade by only two other examples of the date where PCGS is concerned, both of those Mint State 66, and both probably long since vanished into high-quality buffalo nickel sets. How this gemmy MS65 fares in the sale is up to you, the bidders -- you could never go wrong with the present gem when you select a 1923-S buffalo for your set! Pop 29; 2 finer in 66 (PCGS # 3950) .
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,000.
