1938-D/S Buffalo Nickel, MS67+
Guide Book Overmintmark Variety

1938-D/S 5C FS-511 MS67+ PCGS. CAC. The Cherrypickers' reference lists five D/S mintmark varieties of the 1938-D Buffalo nickel, but only FS-511 -- offered here -- merits significant attention. Across all varieties, PCGS has certified a couple hundred Superb Gem D/S coins, most of which are unattributed. Attributed FS-511 pieces amount to five in MS67 (one of which is Plus graded) with none finer (3/21). The present coin is among the other, unattributed pieces. Luminous satin luster yields lovely pastel toning, and the surfaces are almost perfectly preserved. Some minor die erosion is evident in the recesses, as is often seen on this final-year issue.
