Description

Buffalo Nickel
1913 Buffalo Nickel. Type II. Proof-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
Lovely powder blue and pinkish-gold iridescence is featured on both sides of this fully struck, pristine looking specimen. Just 1,514 Proofs were struck, and this is the rarest Proof Buffalo nickels after the 1916 issue. Obviously most contemporary collectors acquired a Type I Proof nickel to mark the design's first year. Disenchantment with the satin finish of these coins further explains why comparatively few examples of the Type II issue were preserved.
PCGS# 3990. NGC ID: 278S.
From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
Estimate: $1600
