Lot 1155
1913-S. Type 2. PCGS graded MS-65. CAC Approved PQ. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Lovely rose and gold toning on both sides. No flyspecks on this coin. Well struck. A truly great coin!
Years ago before emphasis was so strong on Premium Quality grades, the 1913-S Type II was recognized as one of the key dates in the Buffalo series, scarce in any and all grades from well worn to Uncirculated. Today in 2013 the coin is, of course, very elusive in Gem Mint State 65 as offered here, but also maintains its basic or foundational rarity, although sometimes this is overlooked. This is one of the nicer 1913-S Type II MS65-class nickels we have ever seen. Pop 100; 32 finer, 28 in 66, 1 in 66+, 3 in 67 (PCGS # 3923) .
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
