Nicely Toned Superb 1921 Buffalo Nickel

1921 5C MS67 PCGS. While the 1921 is certainly not the rarest issue in the Buffalo Nickel series, it is also not the easiest to locate in grades above the MS65 level. In fact, the present Superb Gem is one of only 21 so graded examples at NGC and PCGS combined. There are none finer (9/04). Well struck for the type with nary a distracting abrasion to report, there is a veritable sea of ice-blue and gold iridescence over the extremely smooth. Some interesting areas of metal flow (as produced) are noted here and there, and a little obverse striking softness at the tops of the letters in LIBERTY is noted for accuracy. Population: 14 in 67, 0 finer (9/04).(#3947) (Registry values: N2998)
