Description

1917-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (PCGS).
Pretty champagne-apricot surfaces with blushes of iridescent powder blue at the borders. Sharply, if not fully 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-64, 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.

Estimate: $3400
