Description
Sharply Struck 1920-D Nickel, MS65+
With Splendid Toning
1920-D 5C MS65+ PCGS. CAC. The 1920-D Buffalo nickel issue
is one known for both middling luster and a generally inadequate
strike, and this coin is the exception on both counts. Intense
luster wafts from both sides, the likely reason for the Plus grade.
The strike, while not full, is much better than normal for the
issue, with pleasing shaggy detail on the buffalo's hide (but
little evidence of a split tail). The obverse is crisply struck as
well, while short of completely. A small die crack crosses the high
point of the Indian's cheek. The splendid variegated color palette
comprises gold, olive, ice-blue, and lilac in pleasing proportions.
A Registry Set prize; PCGS has graded this single coin in 65+, with
two pieces finer (3/11).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22RR, PCGS# 3945, Greysheet# 3120)
Weight: 5.00 grams
