Lot 791
1919-S Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded MS-65. Evenly toned on both sides. This is one time when the usual striking deficiencies at San Francisco in the late-teens of the 20th century are not evident with the 1919-S as they usually are. Collectors know this issue is incredibly difficult to locate with even an adequate impression. A particularly bold example, it is far more carefully produced than others offered in recent months, and it fully deserves the Gem Mint State 65 classification. Sleek nickel-gray satin luster flickers beneath light-intensity russet patina. Both sides are sharp in detail with no areas softly strike. Stored all these years with awareness for long-term preservation, the surfaces are free of outwardly distracting marks and spots. One of the finest PCGS-certified examples of this S-mint 1919 Buffalo nickel in today's market. Pop 31; 2 finer in 66. (PCGS # 3943) .
Estimated Value $16,000 - 17,000.
