Description
1916-D Buffalo Nickel, MS66
Attractively Toned and One of the Finest Known
1916-D 5C MS66 PCGS. While David Lange's The Complete
Guide to Buffalo Nickels describes this issue as "not
particularly scarce" through the Choice level, he considers Gems
"rare." The attractive example offered here is distinctly finer
than that classification. Lange's commentary on the 1916-D lists it
as an issue for which a trade-off between luster and strike exists,
and while this piece has attractive, frosty texture, the strike is
above-average for such a coin. Warm gold and pink patina graces the
exquisitely preserved surfaces. Aside from two tiny marks and a
lone fleck below the bison's head, this piece gives the appearance
of an even higher grade. Tied for the finest certified by NGC or
PCGS, with just four graded by the former and 11 by the latter
(4/10).From The Brenda John Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
