Description
1917-S Nickel, MS66+
The Finest at PCGS
1917-S 5C MS66+ PCGS. CAC. According to David W. Lange
(2006), "a relatively small number of [1917-S] coins may be found
that are extremely well struck." He explains that such examples
were from dies that "were simply unworn and closely set within the
press, the ideal situation for any coining operation but one that
was seldom maintained with respect to Buffalo nickels." This
Premium Gem features sharp definition on the Indian's hair braid
and the bison's head and tail. Each side offers gorgeous, frosted
luster and pale shades of rose, lilac, peach, and sea-green toning.
A few small clash marks and die cracks appear throughout. PCGS has
certified 25 coins in MS66 but this is the only MS66+
representative with none finer (7/14).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22RF, PCGS# 3936, Greysheet# 3114)
