1924-D Buffalo Nickel, MS66
Attractively Toned

1924-D 5C MS66 PCGS. The 1924-D is one of the most elusive Buffalo nickels from the 1920s in grades finer than MS65. In recent years, there have been multiple resubmissions of MS65 examples in hopes of getting the highly sought-after MS66 grade. In fact, PCGS reports 136 coins in MS65+ (7/20). That number is astronomical, and it is obviously inflated by repeated submissions. We have seen only 10 MS65+ coins at auction ever. NGC lists only two MS65+ specimens. The number of resubmissions at PCGS reveals just how coveted the MS66 grade is for this issue. PCGS reports a dozen MS66 coins, and NGC adds only one (7/20). These are the finest 1924-D nickels known.

This piece is toned in blended shades of lavender-gold and pastel rainbow hues. The luster is satiny, complementing a lack of surface abrasions. Typical of Denver issues from this period, there is moderate strike softness, especially in the centers. However, the eye appeal is undeniable. Population: 12 in 66, 0 finer (7/20).(Registry values: N4719)
