1918-S 5C MS65 PCGS. It is actually surprising that such a large number of these coins have been certified by PCGS in Gem quality. This example is frustratingly close to the finest certified example of the date. A few tiny marks on the bison keep this from a higher grade. Bid strong and give this bison a happy new home. Fully lustrous with pale gray surfaces and rainbow album color highlighted by peripheral iridescent toning. Nearly all details are sharply defined, save for the Indian's braid and the bison's front shoulder. The die state specialist will be particularly delighted with the clash marks below the Indian's chin. Population: 24 in 65, 1 finer (12/04). (PCGS# 3940)

1918-S 5C MS65 PCGS. Conditionally speaking, the 1918-S is one of the great condition rarities in the Buffalo Nickel series. It is certainly one of the rarest in MS65 condition. Although nearly five million pieces were minted, the vast majority were spent and spent and spent again, leaving only a small quantity of Uncirculated pieces. From that number, most exhibit dullish luster and weak strikes. The present example is certainly an exception, displaying glossy brilliance and virtual full definition of highpoint details: the hair braid, the buffalo's head, horn, and tail. Each side exhibits an original, naturally toned appearance. A rare opportunity for the Buffalo nickel specialist. Population: 24 in 65, 1 finer (6/05). (PCGS# 3940)

1918-S 5C MS65 PCGS. Like the NGC Gem above, this piece also shows amazingly complete details on the reverse design elements. The obverse, however, is noticeably weak in the center above the knot in the Indian's braid. But what really sets this coin apart are the extraordinarily clean surfaces and bright, shimmering mint luster. Of additional visual interest is the rich blue toning that covers each side with a faint outline of reddish patina that surrounds the devices. Population: 22 in 65, 1 finer (1/03). (PCGS# 3940)

1918-S 5C MS65 PCGS. The 1918-D and S are both scarce mintmarked issues. The 1918-D is a scarcer issue in XF-AU grades, but the 1918-S is the more challenging of the two in Mint State. The '18-S is also a well known strike rarity. This piece has the strongest strike we have seen in recent memory. While the obverse details are well defined, it is the reverse that is particularly noteworthy. The striking definition on the bison's head is noticeably sharper than the MS65 we offered in our 2003 February Long Beach Sale (and that was an especially well struck piece) or either of the two Gems in our Central States Sale this past year. The mint luster is thick and satiny and each side displays lovely rose and lilac patination with no abrasions or carbon spots evident without magnification. A seldom-offered opportunity for the collector of Gem Buffalo nickels who is particularly strike-conscious. Population: 22 in 65, 1 finer (10/03). (PCGS# 3940)

1918-S 5C MS65 NGC. The 1918-S is one of the scarcest and most under appreciated issues in the Buffalo Nickel series in MS65 condition, with Mint State survivors often being disqualified from the Gem ranks due to striking deficiencies. Although shy of fully detailed, this exceptional representative easily atones with silky smooth, lustrous surfaces and an attractive coating of orange-gold and steel-blue toning. Among the nicest '18-S Nickels we have ever offered. Population: 10 in 65, 0 finer (6/05). (PCGS# 3940)

1918-S 5C MS65 NGC. The 1918-S has long been recognized by specialists as the rarer of the two mintmarked issues from this year. It is rarely seen with complete definition on each side. This piece shows needle-sharp details on the reverse, while the obverse is a bit weak on the Indian's hair above the knot. Bright mint frost covers each side with an overlay of attractive reddish patina that shows an underlying tinge of lilac. Defect-free surfaces with a few faint speckles of carbon that are well concealed by the toning. (PCGS# 3940)
