Pleasing 1925-S Five Cent, MS65

1925-S 5C MS65 PCGS. Overall weakness is the norm for the 1925-S nickel, particularly in the bison's head and around the coin's periphery. The mintmark may be grossly distorted and even indecipherable. David Lange (2005) indicates that "both broad set distances between the dies and overextended usage of the dies combined to produce so many miserable coins."
Minor localized softness is evident on the present Gem, but by and large most of the design elements, such as the horn, peripheral lettering, including the mintmark, are well brought up. Golden-gray surfaces are splashed with bluish-violet, and possess rather pleasing luster. Both sides are nicely preserved. Population: 18 in 65, 1 finer (3/09).
