Beautifully Toned Near-Gem
1925-S Buffalo Nickel

1925-S 5C MS64 PCGS. CAC. This near-Gem example, while softly struck in some areas, offers both a better strike than is the norm and beautiful coloration. The obverse displays tinges of saffron, jade, and gold, while the reverse adds pink and ice-blue. The central obverse is softly struck, but the bison's forepart and the mintmark are sharp. PCGS has certified only 19 coins finer, a total that includes but a single coin at the MS66 level (6/10). That coin is in the Gerald Forsythe #1 Finest Circulation Strikes PCGS Registry Set, a five-time PCGS Hall of Fame Winner. The 1925-S and 1926-S are each worth nine points in the Set Composition of that collection.(Registry values: N2998)
