1926-S Buffalo Nickel, MS64+
Heavily Circulated Low-Mintage Issue

1926-S 5C MS64+ PCGS. The 1926-S Buffalo nickel boasts a series-low mintage of just 970,000 pieces, a small production total for this heavily used commercial denomination. In the 1920s, nickels circulated as a change-making denomination but were also useful for small purchases; a boom in payphone usage during this period in cities like New York created another commercial need for the five cent coin. Few high-quality examples of any date, let along the 1926-S, were saved by contemporary collectors, creating inherent scarcity of high-grade coins today.

This high-end near-Gem 1926-S displays attractive, satiny mint luster and subtle shades of champagne-gold and ice-blue toning. The design elements are generally well-detailed, showing just a touch of the typical softness on the bison's shoulder and the hair above the Indian's braid. The well-preserved surfaces show no mentionable distractions and visual appeal is quite strong. PCGS has graded 15 numerically finer examples (10/17).
