1920-S Nickel, Lustrous MS65
Seldom Offered So Fine

1920-S 5C MS65 PCGS. It is extremely difficult to get a 1920-S Buffalo nickel certified at the Gem grade level. Few coins exhibit the surface quality necessary for that classification, and even then many pieces are so weakly struck from worn dies that they cannot be called finer than MS64. This piece lacks nothing in preservation, showing unabraded, frosty luster cast in delicate lavender-gold and powder-blue toning. Although incomplete at the centers, the strike is above average, and die failure issues are limited to minor flowlines in the fields. We offer Gem 1920-S nickels on rare occasions, and PCGS coins are in the minority. Population: 35 in 65 (5 in 65+), 1 finer (12/24).
