Description
1924-D Nickel, Toned MS66
Tied for Finest Certified
1924-D 5C MS66 PCGS. Despite a mintage of more than 5.2
million coins, the 1924-D Buffalo nickel had a limited survival
rate in Gem condition, and Premium Gems are genuine rarities.
Attrition and poor preservation account for most of this but, many
would-be high-grade coins exhibit enough striking weakness to
hinder them in that regard. The Denver Mint had memorable
difficulty during the 1920s with producing sharp strikes, partly
due to the practice of using working dies well beyond their normal
lifespan as a cost-saving measure. The present coin was struck with
dies in an advanced state, showing moderate erosion in the recesses
on each side. Yet, the motifs are better defined than usual, with
the only mentionable weakness seen on the bison's shoulder. Both
sides are satiny and attractively toned in iridescent gold and
lavender-gray hues. Population: 7 in 66, 0 finer (6/15).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22RY, PCGS# 3952, Greysheet# 3124)
