1916 Nickel, CAC-Approved PR65
Only 600 Matte Proofs Struck

1916 5C PR65 NGC. CAC. The 1916 is the scarcest of the matte proof Buffalo nickels, boasting a mintage of only 600 pieces. It also marks the end of matte proof production for this series. Proof coinage of Buffalo nickels did not resume until 1936, and then it debuted with Satin and Brilliant finishes, not the original matte texture. This CAC-approved Gem is needle-sharp and toned light golden. Eye appeal is outstanding. CAC: 16 in 65, 49 finer (7/19).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 278V, PCGS# 3993, Greysheet# 3154)
