Description

1917-S 5C MS66 PCGS. The mintage of the 1917-S Buffalo nickel was low to begin with, at less than 4.2 million pieces, and the wartime economy was such that most examples of the issue apparently circulated. Although the issue is nonetheless available in the lower Mint State grades, the Premium Gem level makes it conditionally rare. The present piece is one of 22 so graded at PCGS, and there are none finer, although NGC has certified a single MS67 example. Delightful blue and gold tones accent the near-pristine surfaces on both sides, and the strike is excellent overall.
