Description
1918-S Nickel, Lightly Toned MS65
Lustrous and Sharply Struck
1918-S 5C MS65 PCGS. CAC. Far more so than its earlier
neighbor the 1917-S and about tied with the renowned 1919-S, the
1918-S Buffalo nickel in Gem condition is deucedly difficult, and
anything in finer grades is virtually impossible to obtain. PCGS
shows only 34 submissions in MS65 with two in MS65+ and a single
MS66 finer (3/14). This piece, certified in an old green-label
holder with the CAC approval, will certainly gain the attention of
dedicated series specialists hoping to "fill" that elusive hole in
their sets. The frosty surfaces show excellent luster complementing
dabs of pale jade and ice-blue near the date that contrast against
the prevailing pinkish hues on both sides, a simply beautiful coin.
Contact marks are minimal as desired, and the strike is much
sharper than normal for this issue, showing a good full horn and a
partly split tail.From The Ray Levoi Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
