Description
Premium Gem 1914-S Buffalo Nickel
Spectacular Iridescent Toning
1914-S 5C MS66 NGC. One might assume that the 1914-S, as a
lower mintage (3.4 million pieces) Buffalo nickel from the San
Francisco Mint, is a rare coin in virtually all grades. This is not
the case, however, and survivors are among the more plentiful early
S-mint Buffalo nickels in grades up to and including MS64. Gems
(certified MS65), while scarce, are usually available with
patience, and it is not until one crosses into the MS66 level that
this issue shows its true rarity. The striking quality of this
issue varies from poor to sharp.Fortunately for our bidders, the present example falls into the well-defined category. There are no ill-defined features, nor can we find a mentionable blemish on the satiny surfaces. Lovely pastel blue, gold, and rose toning rounds out this coin's list of positive attributes. Census: 24 in 66, 4 finer (6/10).
