Description
Finest Certified 1916 Five Cent, MS68
Breathtaking Eye Appeal
1916 5C MS68 NGC. The Mint State 68 1916 Buffalo nickel
offering in the present lot is the finest example graded
either by NGC or PCGS! The underlying reasons for this lofty
designation become readily apparent upon examination. First, each
side exhibits a marvelous display of softy toned shades. Waves of
jade, rose, and yellow-gold flank the obverse border, transitioning
to ice-blue and orange-gold in the central area, while a melange of
lavender, sky-blue, and orange-gold drape the reverse. Second, both
sides radiate intense luster that appears to reach out to the
observer. Third, a solid strike lends sharp definition to the
design elements, including the Indian's hair and braid, areas that
are sometimes soft. Finally, immaculate preservation shows on both
obverse and reverse; no mentionable contacts or spots are revealed
under close inspection with a loupe. These attributes combine in
synergistic fashion to yield breathtaking eye appeal that is rarely
seen on any Buffalo nickel issue, and will consequently
generate spirited bidding.Ex: Leonard J. Torok, M.D. Collection (Bowers and Merena, 9/1998), lot 289.
