Description

Exceptional 1913-S Type Two Nickel, MS67
Tied for Finest Certified

1913-S 5C Type Two MS67 NGC. The Buffalo nickel marked a radical departure from its staid Liberty nickel predecessor. But a design flaw was noticed in the first year of production. The mound and the words FIVE CENTS showed the first signs of wear. Charles Barber, noted for designing coins suited for high-speed production, redesigned the lower reverse by making a straight line below the bison which protected the denomination from wear. This redesign was done later in the year after 38 million coins had been struck in the three mints. The 1913-S Type Two is the key to the six 1913 issues with only 1.2 million pieces minted. It is predictably rare in high grades with only four other pieces so graded by NGC and one MS67 at PCGS (5/08). The mint luster on this piece is frosted, as one would expect, and undisturbed by any noticeable marks. Each side shows just a hint of pale olive and lilac toning. An exceptional Type Two 1913-S nickel.
