Description
Key 1926-S Nickel, MS64
High-End for the Issue and Grade
1926-S 5C MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1926-S holds the title of
lowest-mintage regular issue in the popular Buffalo nickel series
at 970,000 coins, and today Gems are all but unobtainable. PCGS
shows only 14 in that top grade -- a certified total that we note
is the smallest of any nonvariety issue in the series (3/14). This
near-Gem should be vigorously contested at auction, given its old
green-label certification and CAC approbation. The obverse strike
is fairly bold and the reverse strike, while made from fatigued
dies, is still sharper than on most examples of this issue,
notorious for that attribute. While not sharp, a decent level of
detail appears on the horn, the fur, the tail, and the mintmark.
Semireflective luster enlivens the surfaces, nickel-gray with
touches of pinkish and gold. No singular contact appears on this
piece, which we consider high-end for the grade.From The Ray Levoi Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
