Description
Remarkably Well Struck 1917-D Nickel, MS66
1917-D 5C MS66 NGC. The 1917-D is known for weak strikes. Actually, much of the weakness that is generally found is a result of die erosion. Close examination of this piece shows the fine, pebbly effects of erosion deep within the recesses of the design elements. Naturally, overused dies would show lessened high point details. This coin actually is well defined in all areas except over the bison's head, leading one to the conclusion that to compensate for older dies the mint increased striking pressure.This is a fabulous example of this scarce, early Buffalo nickel. The surfaces are bright and satiny, which underlies the moderate rose and lilac toning seen on each side. As one would expect from a coin in this grade, there are no obvious abrasions present. Census: 6 in 66, 1 finer (4/10).
