1936 Satin Finish Buffalo Nickel, PR68
Extraordinary Toning
Nearly Flawless Surfaces

1936 5C Type One -- Satin Finish PR68 NGC. Perhaps no other 1936 Superb Gem Satin Finish proof can match the colorful patina of this MS68 Buffalo nickel. A needle-sharp strike accompanies the extremely bright and vivid colors that include a neon rainbow that drifts across the upper obverse and intensifies throughout the reverse. Satin luster fills the eye and an oblong dark toning spot near the longest feather punctuates this nickel's unique coloration. Near-perfect surfaces confirm NGC's high grade assignment. NGC Census: 54 in 68 (7 in 68+, 2 in 68 , 1 in 68+ ), 0 finer (12/25).(Registry values: N2998)
