Buffalo Nickels
1926-S 5C MS63 PCGS. The 1926-S boasts the lowest mintage of the Buffalo nickel series at 970,000 pieces. Mint State coins are elusive in pleasing condition and are rarely seen at the Gem level. Worn reverse dies are the norm, and the bison's head and other design elements are normally weak. The example in this lot exhibits an above-average strike, though portions of the Indian's hair are soft. Most of the bison, with the exception of the hair on the head and the tail, reveals decent detail, and the horn is quite sharp. The peripheral elements are bold, save for the top portions of the letters in LIBERTY. Light golden-gray toning overlays lustrous surfaces, revealing subtle light blue, crimson and yellowish hues. A few small ticks on the Indian's cheek are not bothersome.
Ex: FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2005), lot 5901; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2011), lot 3248.
