Description
1921-S Nickel, Nearly Fully Struck MS66
Among the Finest Known
1921-S 5C MS66 NGC. The 1921-S is both a low-mintage issue
with only 1.5 million struck and it is one of the premier strike
rarities in the series. Planchet problems were also pervasive for
these pieces, as explained by David Lange: "This date is
particularly subject to laminations and toning streaks, the result
of poorly prepared planchet stock. Other signs of hurried work
include multiple die cracks and metal flowlines, both evidence of
extended die use." Of the listed problems, the only fault we see on
this coin is a die crack from 3 o'clock to the end of the Indian's
nose. The mint luster is frosted, as usual, and each side displays
rich reddish toning with occasional bits of lilac interspersed. The
all-important strike is strongly brought up on each side. The
obverse can be said to be fully struck, while the reverse is
lacking just a bit of detail on the bison's head. Census: 3 in 66,
0 finer (11/11).From The Teton Ranch Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
