Description

1924-S 5C MS65 PCGS. Perhaps even more remarkable than this S-mint nickel's impressive preservation is its strength of strike. In the Item of the Week column published in the July 31, 2007 edition of Numismatic News, Paul M. Green writes that issues such as the 1924-S "... were horribly made in many cases. The strikes are bad and much of the detail is lacking." This Gem offers a great exception to the rule, with boldness at both the centers and the margins. Luminous mustard and green-gold toning envelops each side but lets the naturally strong luster shine through. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 31 in 65, 1 finer (3/09).
