Description

Superlative 1925 Buffalo Nickel, MS67

1925 5C MS67 NGC. From a mintage exceeding 35 million examples, this piece is one of less than a dozen Superb Gem representatives certified at NGC and PCGS combined (6/08). The Philadelphia Mint was in the 1920s, 1930s, and most of the 1940s the coinage leader in terms of volume over the Denver and San Francisco mints. It was the 1950s and later before Denver overtook the Mother Mint as volume leader, with San Francisco fading in the 1940s and 1950s before becoming a proof-only manufactory in the late 1960s.
This piece displays the superlative surfaces expected of this highest-certified grade for the issue. The light-gray surfaces are lightly tinged with gold, and neither side shows a hint of distraction. The obverse die shows some signs of fatigue and detail loss, but the reverse is sharp and extremely well detailed. Census: 4 in 67, 0 finer (6/08).(Registry values: N2998)
