1919-D Buffalo Nickel. ICG graded MS-65. Well struck with nice rainbow toning. The end of the Great War lead to a reduction in coinage production Denver and San Francisco Mints in 1919. Denver struck a little more than 8 million pieces. Extensive circulation then took its toll, which is why the 1919-D is rare in Gem condition. Also, the '19-D is also one of the most difficult dates to find sharply struck. Our offering of this gorgeous Gem should create a stir among bidders who long for an opportunity of such profound importance in this series.
The strike is the best we have seen, a rarely stated observation. All features of the Indian are sharply delineated, and there are no areas of bothersome incompleteness Black Diamond, either. The surfaces glow with luster. They are satiny. The toning, delicate in its iridescence. There are no spots or abrasions to declare. In other words, a beautiful coin in all regards (PCGS # 3942) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
