Description
Frosty Gem 1918-S Buffalo Nickel
1918-S 5C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Beyond questions of overall condition, the chief concerns for a Buffalo nickel collector seeking a 1918-S revolve around luster and strike. On these topics, David Lange writes in his Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels that "The striking problem noted for 1918-P and D is much worse for 1918-S. In addition, the date is sometimes weak, especially in the first two digits. Most examples have frosty luster that is somewhat subdued."While this coin is frosty, it is also brighter than the norm under pale nickel-blue and pink-violet patina. The strike is not absolutely sharp, especially on the bison's shoulder, but the obverse is decidedly above-average. Population: 30 in 65, 1 finer (11/10).(Registry values: N7079)
