1916-S Nickel, MS66
Highly Lustrous, Lightly Toned

1916-S 5C MS66 PCGS. CAC. The grade distribution of surviving 1916-S nickels is interesting. While VF and XF representatives are relatively common, those at the bookends of the grading scale are scarce, if not rare. Gems definitely fall into the latter (rare) category with PCGS and NGC reporting just 55 examples in MS66. There are just eight coins finer (5/19). This particular example may not be fully struck, but the overall definition is well above average in all areas with no areas of bothersome lack of detail. Medium intensity champagne-gray patina envelops virtually pristine surfaces that are equally free of distracting bagmarks and carbon. From the #5 Current and All-Time Finest Buffalo Nickel PCGS Registry Set with Major Varieties.
