Description

1924 5C MS67 PCGS. In an article published in the Numismatic News dated November 25, 2008, Paul M. Green notes that the Philadelphia Buffalo nickels as a whole are overlooked, though he also highlights the 1924 as being the most challenging (and most expensive!) P-mint issue of its period. This Superb Gem, tied with eight others for finest in the combined certified population (3/09), is immensely lustrous beneath delicate nickel-blue patina that shows apricot-tan peripheral accents. An excellent strike, with a "chin-whiskers" die clash below the portrait's chin adding interest. The series enthusiast should take a close look at this beauty.
