Description
Gem 1918-S Buffalo Nickel
A Major Strike and Condition Rarity
1918-S 5C MS65 NGC. The 1918-S nickel is well known to the
legions of Buffalo nickel collectors as one of the major mintmarked
rarities of the series, one that is challenging both in terms of
condition and strike. This is a simply marvelous specimen that
exhibits glowing luster, partially a function of metal flow in the
fields from die fatigue. The strike is nonetheless sharp, with good
articulation on the date, the Indian's braid, the bison's shoulder,
and the horn. The obverse shows bold die clashing, the obverse in
the form of a "goatee" under the Indian's chin from IN GOD WE
TRUST, as often seen in the series, and behind the Indian's neck.
The surfaces are golden-gray with tinges of blue and pink in the
recesses. Census: 14 in 65, 2 finer (4/10).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22RK, PCGS# 3940, GSID# 3117)
