1917 MS67 Buffalo Nickel
Tied for Second Finest Certified

1917 5C MS67 NGC. With a mintage in excess of 51 million pieces it is difficult to make a case for absolute rarity for the 1917 nickel. However, even though rolls were available until recently there are surprisingly few examples that have been certified in MS67 by the two major services. NGC has only graded five other pieces with one finer, and PCGS has certified 10 in MS67 with two finer (4/10). This would make a superlative early type coin. The surfaces have mint frost that rolls around the coin unimpeded by abrasions, and each side displays light, attractive rose and lilac toning. Also important for type-coin consideration, the strike is complete on each side.
