详细说明

1918 Buffalo Nickel. MS-66 (PCGS). Supremely attractive, this otherwise pearl-gray beauty exhibits intermingled toning in iridescent powder blue, pale lilac and pinkish-apricot. Billowy mint luster is full and smooth, both sides expectably smooth for the assigned grade. With a generous mintage of 32,086,314 pieces from the Philadelphia Mint, one might suspect that the 1918 is among the more readily obtainable nickels from its era. This is simply not true, for this issue is surprisingly scarce in the finer circulated and Mint Sate grades. Obviously attrition through circulation was uncommonly high, and the 1918 can be challenging to locate even in attractive Choice and Gem Uncirculated preservation. The coin offered here offers superior technical quality and outstanding eye appeal, and it represents a significant find for the astute Buffalo nickel enthusiast. Provenance: From the Naples, Florida Collection of Buffalo Nickels. PCGS Population: 92; 29 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 3937. NGC ID: 22RG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
