Description

1913 Type One Buffalo Nickel, PR68
One-Year Matte Proof Type

1913 5C Type One PR68 NGC. The Type One matte proof Buffalo nickel is a popular type coin, particularly in high grade. Examples are typically seen in the PR64 to PR66 grade levels, with pieces in PR67 being scarce. The finest examples extant are 10 coins at NGC in PR68, and another 10 at PCGS in the same grade -- some of which may represent crossovers and duplications (11/23). We have seen a top-grade example on only 10 prior occasions, represented by just six distinct coins.

This piece displays fully rendered design elements and satiny, textured matte surfaces that have delicate champagne toning. The preservation is virtually flawless, and eye appeal is similarly strong. Census: 10 in 68 (2 in 68 ), 0 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 278R, PCGS# 3988, Greysheet# 3150)
