1920-S 5C MS63 认证号42134341, PCGS号3946

CAC; THE GEORGE SCHWENK COLLECTION: This MS63 20-S has a great look and is very high end quality. A strong luster beams boldly on both sides and the fields are extremely brilliant. Accents of soft champagne-rose over the original nickel-silver patina. The reverse die has lots of stress and crumbling at the lower periphery and there are flowlines emanating from around the devices. Generally well struck, there is just a hint of weakness on the bison's head. A couple of tiny ticks are noted on the reverse, but these have no impact on the excellent eye appeal (from Legend Rare Coin Auction description).

In circulated grades, the 1920-S is quite scarce. It is rare in mint state and in Gem condition it is one of the major rarities of the Buffalo nickel series. For the non-varieties, in Gem condition only the 1926-S is rarer, though the 1925-S is close in rarity to the 1920-S. I'd caall the 1920-S the second rarest buffalo nickel in Gem condition after the 1926-S. Strike is a big problem with this issue and most examples have very weakly struck detail of the Buffalo's horn and tail and the Indian's hair braid. Luster, on the rare mint state example, is somewhat frosty.
