- 1927 Buffalo Nickel. MS-67 (PCGS).
Lightly toned in iridescent gold and pale silver, this captivating Superb Gem also offers sharp striking detail and smooth, lively satin luster. Nearly 38 million Buffalo nickels were struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1927, making this a readily available issue from the Roaring Twenties at most preservation levels - but a rarity in the highest grades. While overall the issue was reasonably well struck, as David Lange notes, "the master hubs for this type gradually became worn, a process accelerated by the high mintages of 1916-20." As a result, many of the later issues have somewhat soft features that are amplified by worn dies. That is not the case here, both sides with a remarkably strong impression and wondrous surfaces. An impressive piece that would be perfect for a high-end Buffalo nickel collection.
