Description

1918-S 5C MS64 PCGS. Among the most elusive semikeys to the Buffalo nickel series in near-Gem and Gem condition, the 1918-S is a coin that appears frequently on collectors' want lists. The present example is extremely lustrous, with glints of gold and lilac on the high points. Considerable die fatigue and erosion are evident. On the obverse, it takes the form of die clash marks behind the Indian's neck and bold die cracks, one along the leftmost feather, a second from the tip of that feather to the rim. On the reverse, the die fatigue produces an orange-peel effect in the fields.
