Gem 1921-S Buffalo Nickel
Low-Mintage, Better Date

1921-S 5C MS65 PCGS. The 1921-S Buffalo nickel is a scarcer date, with a mintage of 1.5 million pieces. The issue is very scarce in MS65, and only 12 coins have been certified in higher numeric grades by PCGS and NGC combined (8/10). The present coin is well struck, with a touch of softness on the Indian's hair and the bison's leg. Attractive ice-blue and pale green toning graces the pleasing fields.
