Description
1926-S Buffalo Nickel, MS64
Above-Average Sharpness
1926-S 5C MS64 PCGS. CAC. The challenge of the 1926-S
Buffalo nickel in Mint State spans both technical grade quality of
strike. The issue is marginally available in grades through MS64,
but anything finer is a major rarity, out of reach for most
collectors. Moreover, virtually all known examples display some
degree of striking deficiency in the centers, as is seen to a
marginal extent on the current piece. This coin shows satiny luster
and is devoid of major abrasions. The bison's shoulder and the hair
above the Indian's braid are lacking full detail, but are still
above average for the issue. The obverse is uniformly golden in
tone, while the reverse shows a deeper army-green hue with glimpses
of amber and violet. The 1926-S had a low mintage of only 970,000
coins, and is a better date in all grades.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22S7, PCGS# 3959, Greysheet# 3129)
