1916 Buffalo Nickel, MS67+
Pastel-Toned Condition Census Rarity

1916 5C MS67+ PCGS. CAC. The 1916 Buffalo nickel is often passed over as a common type coin, particularly in the shadow of the 1916 Doubled Die Obverse variety, which is a famous rarity. But Superb Gem examples of this Philadelphia issue are conditionally scarce, posing a challenge for Registry collectors. The current example is tied with just four other MS67+ pieces for the finest of the date at PCGS, a distinction within the overall Condition Census which includes a single finer NGC coin (6/21). This piece is also among the finest coins with CAC endorsement. The strike is impeccably sharp, complementing luminous mattelike luster and pristine surfaces. Attractive ice-blue, lavender, and sun-gold hues join a thin band of mint-green on each side. Population: 51 in 67 (5 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 9 in 67, 0 finer (6/21).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22RA, PCGS# 3930, Greysheet# 3081)
