Buffalo Nickels
1925-S 5C MS65 PCGS. CAC. The 1925-S Buffalo nickel is frequently seen with a weak strike and severe die erosion, which can have a negative affect on eye appeal and thus grade. The issue is rare at the Gem level and is prohibitively so any finer. The present coin is smooth and satiny. The die state is severely advanced, showing deep metal flowlines on the reverse and heavy die lapping on the obverse, but the exceptional preservation of the coin has preserved much more eye appeal than usual. Delicate pastel hues enliven each side. Although LIBERTY is weak from die fatigue, the central motifs are boldly rendered. Population: 29 in 65 (1 in 65+), 1 finer (6/17).
