1920-S Nickel, Colorful MS65
Rarely Encountered in Gem Condition
1920-S 5C MS65 PCGS Secure. Despite a mintage of nearly 10
million coins, the 1920-S Buffalo nickel is the second-rarest
regular issue in the series in Gem and finer grades, trailing only
the 1926-S. Its rarity in high grade is partly due to poor
production quality at the San Francisco Mint. Working dies were
used well-beyond their true lifespan, resulting in weak strikes and
dull luster -- two characteristics that hinder a Gem grade
assessment.This Gem representative displays bright, satiny surfaces with rich rose-gold, mint-green, and champagne hues surrounding powder-blue centers. Heavy clash marks and significant die erosion in the fields lend credence to this issue's reputation, although the overall eye appeal is superior to the typical example. Population: 22 in 65 (1 in 65+), 1 finer (11/15).(Registry values: N4719)
