Strike Rarity 1928-S Buffalo Nickel

1928-S 5C MS 65 PCGS. The otherwise blue-gray toning yields to bright lavender hues over most of the reverse. This is a satiny coin whose shimmering surfaces are devoid of bothersome abrasions. Every feature exhibits an exactness of strike that is seldom encountered on a representative of this S-mint issue. Despite a higher mintage, the 1928-S (6.9 million pieces produced) is scarcer than the 1928-D (6.4 million pieces produced) in all Mint State grades.
