Description

1926-D 5C MS66 PCGS. The 1926-D is one of the most difficult strike rarities in the Buffalo nickel series. Indeed, David Lange (2006) opines that most of the coins known of this issue are so weakly struck that they appear undesirable to many collectors. However, this piece is very sharply defined with strong detail at the top of the bison's head and a faint split in the tail. The surfaces are clean and problem-free with smooth, satiny luster, and a light amount of rose-champagne color on the reverse. A superior example of this elusive issue. Population: 23 in 66, 1 finer (3/09).
