Magnificent Colorfully Toned Gem Uncirculated 1919-S Nickel

1919-S 5C MS65 PCGS. A notorious strike rarity, this date is typically offered with indistinct detail in the center of the obverse, around the reverse periphery, and over the bison's head, horn, and shoulder. This coin, however, is bold in all focal areas, and we note particularly impressive detail on the reverse over the bison's horn, the denomination, and the S mintmark. There is an even endowment of variegated crimson-rose, golden, and ice-blue patina draped over full, satiny textured luster. Both sides are 100% free of carbon, and we must also state that the surfaces are free of singularly and outwardly distracting blemishes. Registry Set collectors would be wise to enter strong bids for this important strike and condition rarity. Actually, the 1919-S (7.5 million pieces produced) should not be considered common in any grade at or above the VF level--a fact that suggests extensive circulation in the years immediately following release from the mint. Population: 25 in 65, 1 finer (9/04).(#3943) (Registry values: N4719)
