Marvelous 1928-S Buffalo Nickel, MS66

1928-S 5C MS66 NGC. Lange says of this issue, "1928-S nickels have good to excellent luster, though it is rarely of the frostiness associated with most other issues, particularly the P-mint coins. More commonly seen for this date is the bright, liquid appearance associated with polished planchets that have not been fully compressed by the dies." The present example is such a piece on the obverse, where the strike is only slightly above-average for the issue. The reverse, on the other hand, boasts a marvelous, intricately detailed strike, with a full horn, split tail on the hind section, and marvelously thick hair on the buffalo. A further complement is the marvelous patina in shades of gold, teal, and lilac seen on both sides. An unabraded and marvelously attractive coin.(Registry values: N4719)
