WHOA! A simply AMAZING, visually flawless and technically pristine example of this early Proof Buffalo nickel! Not only is it beautiful, it is also tied for FINEST graded at PCGS. Superior quality everything, the matte surfaces are impeccable and very high end. The surfaces have a rippled, orange-peel texture in the fields that are totally free of any lines, ticks, marks or discolorations of any kind. The satiny surfaces have taken on a delicate pastel iridescent toning on a wonderful mix of sky blue, pale gold, and soft pinkish-rose. Every detail is sharp, the definition crisply rendered by an exacting blow from the dies. High end and beautiful in every way! PCGS 17, NGC 15. The most recent example to sell was the Gerald Forsythe duplicate that we sold in our March 2020 Regency Auction 37 for $17,625. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $17,500. There are NONE graded higher at PCGS, making this a great coin for inclusion in a SUPERB set, and we love Proof Buffalo nickels, especially when they are so beautiful. Cert.
