Buffalo Nickels
1923-S 5C MS65+ PCGS. CAC. With a mintage of more than 6.1 million pieces, the 1923-S is always available in circulated grades, but it becomes scarce when Uncirculated. Gem coins are very scarce and Premium Gems are rare. Strike is always part of the challenge -- the Bowers reference estimates just 40% of the coins are sharply struck, and only 3% of survivors display full details.
This lustrous, high-end Gem hovers between a sharp and full strike. Slight weakness at RICA of AMERICA prevents full details, although all of the primary motifs are sharply rendered. The hair definition is excellent, the mintmark is sharp, as are the feather tips and date. The bison is bold front to back, top to bottom. Attractive shades of peach-gold and ice-blue provide dramatic eye appeal. CAC endorsed. Population: 5 in 65+, 3 finer. CAC: 11 in 65, 1 finer (6/17).
