Description

1925-S Buffalo Nickel, MS65+
Near the Condition Census

1925-S 5C MS65+ NGC. The 1925-S is plentiful in lower Mint State grades, but the date becomes notably scarce in MS65 and is a significant rarity any finer. The Condition Census is composed of five MS66 pieces -- three at NGC and two at PCGS (7/23). This Plus-designated Gem is just outside of the Census, and it is itself a rarity as one of only three Plus-graded pieces at this level. Satiny creamy-white luster characterizes the luster, while the margins exhibit elements of metal flow due to the usual die fatigue associated with branch issues in the 1920s. Some strike softness is as normal for the issue. Census: 31 in 65 (3 in 65+), 3 finer (7/23).
