Description
Splendid 1928-S Buffalo Nickel, MS66
Tied for Finest at PCGS
1928-S 5C MS66 PCGS. The 1928-S Buffalo nickels would not be
on anyone's short list of the most elusive S-mint issues in the
series, but they are nonetheless difficult in the higher Mint State
grades, usually due to strike deficiencies or planchet quality. All
examples known are of the Small S variety, although Lange's third
edition series reference makes tantalizing note of the possibility
(not probability) of a Large S variety awaiting discovery one day.
In MS66 this piece is one of the finest half-dozen examples
certified at PCGS (9/09). Both sides exhibit typical, original
silver-gold coloration, with a better-than-average strike. Some
light orange-peel effect is the product of die erosion.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22SD, PCGS# 3965, Greysheet# 3133)
