Lustrous Near-Gem 1919-S Nickel

1919-S 5C MS64 PCGS. This is a virtually mark-free near-Gem example of this difficult strike-challenged issue, with sparkling luster over silver-gray surfaces. A loupe reveals glints of pinkish-gold coloration on the obverse and a bit of strike softness on the first two digits of the date, and the reverse shows more strike weakness on the buffalo. There is considerable die erosion evident on both sides that produces a pebbly texture. The absence of marks and good luster over attractive surfaces raise this piece above the crowd. PCGS has certified only 32 pieces finer (5/10).(Registry values: N2998)
