1916 Buffalo Nickel, MS67+
Pastel-Toned Condition Census Rarity

1916 5C MS67+ PCGS. CAC. The 1916 Buffalo nickel is often passed over as a common type coin, particularly in the shadow of the 1916 Doubled Die Obverse variety, the famous series-rarity. But Superb Gem examples of this Philadelphia issue are conditionally scarce, posing a challenge for Registry collectors. The current example is tied with just four other MS67+ pieces for the finest of the date at PCGS, a distinction within the overall Condition Census which includes a single finer NGC coin (9/22). This piece is also among the finest coins with CAC endorsement. The strike is impeccably sharp, complementing luminous mattelike luster and pristine surfaces. Attractive ice-blue, lavender, and sun-gold hues join a thin band of mint-green on each side. Population: 52 in 67 (5 in 67+), 1 finer. CAC: 10 in 67, 0 finer (9/22).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22RA, PCGS# 3930, Greysheet# 3081)
