The January 2013 Americana Sale

详细说明: 1919-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-66 (PCGS). A imposing condition rarity that at first glance has the appearance of a much later date Buffalo nickel as the strike is sharp and the luster so full and inviting. Delicately toned with pleasing light rose-gold over much of the surface, combined with a couple of faint teal traces near the rims and devices. The strike is much sharper than commonly seen on this San Francisco issue, as most known show considerable softness on  the Chief's hair and the bison's back and shoulder. Notice the depth of the strike on the bison's horn and surrounding wholly hair, right down to the split on his tail. While a bold strike is certainly a desirable feature on a 1919-S Buffalo nickel, that is only part of the complete package offered here--as the surfaces are tied with at most two others as the finest seen by PCGS of this date, and the icing on the cake is the lustrous quality of the obverse and reverse. In sum, this sparkling jewel will be one of the most prized highlights of any advanced Buffalo nickel collection.
