Description
1926-S Buffalo Nickel, MS65
Rare High-End Registry Coin
1926-S 5C MS65 NGC. The 1926-S Buffalo nickel is the only
date in the series with a mintage below 1 million coins (970,000
pieces), and it is elusive in high grade. Specifically, Gem
examples are rare, and just a few higher-grade pieces are reported.
The most recent MS65 coin that we handled was a PCGS CAC coin in
our February 2022 Long Beach Signature, which realized $99,000.
This NGC piece is just as well preserved as that coin and displays
comparable eye appeal. Some die fatigue is developing in the
fields, but minimal metal flow is yet seen. Warm rose-gold toning
covers the satiny luster, and strike sharpness is above average for
the issue. An excellent option for the advanced Registry collector.
Census: 12 in 65 (2 in 65+), 3 finer (11/22).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22S7, PCGS# 3959, Greysheet# 3129)
