Description

1917-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-66 (NGC).

Pretty apricot-gray surfaces are lightly toned over full, satiny mint luster. Sharply struck and impressively well preserved. David Lange (2000) noted that few coins of this issue could be found "extremely well struck" and we think this bears out when one looks at the current third-party certification populations. Rare any finer than MS-65, in fact, James Earle Fraser's all American design seldom appears finer where the 1917-S is concerned, and we expect strong competition when this nickel crosses the auction block.

PCGS# 3936. NGC ID: 22RF.

NGC Census: 11; 5 finer (MS-67 finest).
