Amazing 1920-S Buffalo, MS65

1920-S 5C MS65 PCGS. An impressive Gem with gorgeous rainbow toning, full underlying satin luster, and excellent design detail that falls just short of a full strike. This piece is an exceptional example for the "informed connoisseur" as Dave Bowers writes in A Guide Book of Buffalo and Jefferson Nickels: "The 1920-S is scarce in any Mint State grade, and when found is apt to have lightly defined details. Coins with sharp details are very rare, and seem to constitute only about 15% of the population. Luster and eye appeal are usually subpar. Here indeed, is a fantastic opportunity for the informed connoisseur." Population: 16 in 65, 1 finer (6/08).
