Well Struck Gem 1917-D Buffalo Nickel

1917-D 5C MS65 PCGS. Most of the 9.9 million Buffalo Nickels that emerged from the Denver Mint in 1917 probably entered circulation, as this date is only really common in well worn grades. Brilliant Uncirculated coins are, however, more easy to obtain than XF-AU survivors, but most are plagued by bothersome softness of strike. Inadequate striking pressure also helps to explain the rarity of this date as a Gem. Thankfully for our bidders, the present specimen exhibits essentially full definition in all areas. The lightly toned, silver-golden surfaces are free of even the most trivial distraction. Population: 100 in 65, 9 finer (9/04).(#3935) (Registry values: N2998)
