1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel, MS63
Rare Guide Book Key Variety

1918/7-D 5C FS-101 MS63 PCGS. Ex: Gately Collection. As a rule, Buffalo nickels are collected in Mint State except for a few key varieties, which can be challenging to find in high grade. The 1918/7-D is rare in Uncirculated grades, with every appearance of an example accompanied by enthusiastic bids. This Select Uncirculated example is attractively toned in autumn-gold and bluish-brown shades, with faint iridescence occupying the recesses. The underdigit is clear beneath the primary 8, showing the horizontal top of a straight-stemmed 7. A needle-like tip of the diagnostic die crack extends from above the braid knot to the Indian's jaw. Some die erosion exists at the margins, yet the strong eye appeal carries the day for this rare and highly sought overdate variety. Population: 7 in 63, 30 finer (11/22).
