Lot 1330
1920 Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded MS-66. Well struck with gold and blue toning. The blue consists of lovely silvery nickel-blue sheen indicating its original (uncleaned) state of preservation. We note a grand display of detail on both sides. Boldly struck with full braid on the Indian’s hair, and all the major detail showing on the shaggy coat of the buffalo at the hump and shoulder, perhaps more fully so than 95% of surviving 1920-dated nickels with this amount of detail at the bison's head. Its charm is enhanced immeasurably. Pop 111; 11 finer, 2 in 66+, 9 in 67. (PCGS # 3944) Estimated Value $750 - 800
