Delightful Near-Gem 1918-S Buffalo Nickel

1918-S 5C MS64 NGC. This is a particularly difficult date to locate at the Choice and Gem levels of preservation. As one might expect for a branch mint issue in this series, striking incompleteness is the most frequently encountered impediment to a high Mint State grade. The present near-Gem is somewhat typical in that it is not sharply struck in all areas. Interesting clashmarks are noted in the obverse field behind the Indian's neck and under the chin, and there is also a curving die crack from the Indian's nose to his hair braid. Silver-gray tinting in the centers gives way to champagne-apricot and golden target toning around the peripheries. A delightful Buffalo Nickel that is sure to see spirited bidding.(#3940) (Registry values: N2998)
