Description
ANACS 1928-S MS 66. The '28-S is similar to the other mintmarked Buffaloes from the 1920s in that it is an important strike rarity. It is also very elusive in gem condition. Most specimens display a general softening of details on the date, mintmark, and bison's forehead. This is a spectacular coin, not only because of the strength of the striking details, but also because of the bright, vibrant mint luster and the extraordinary coloration seen on each side. We do not recall having ever seen a '28-S with this much definition on the highpoints. The vertical hair details come almost down to the knot in the braid, and there is very little loss of detail on the highpoints of the reverse. As stated, the coin is exquisitely toned. The centers are an icy-blue and they deepen toward the rims to a bright orange and golden-rose iridescence that is irresistable to the toning enthusiast. A must-see coin for the specialist.
