Description
1915 Buffalo Nickel, PR68+
Tied Finest at PCGS, Extraordinary Quality
1915 5C PR68+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. The Buffalo nickel is
a favorite design for many collectors, both for its artistry and
its distinctly American motifs. Done in rim-to-rim high relief and
surrounded by narrow, concave fields, virtually the entire surface
on both sides is devoted to design elements, which caused the Mint
no end of challenges and die failures. Proofs provide the most
compelling renditions of James Earle Fraser's intended result, with
high-grade proofs the most highly sought representatives of the
series.This high-end Superb Gem 1915 example is tied with one other coin for finest-seen by PCGS. The strike throughout both sides is magnificent, and the near-flawless matte finish retains much satiny luster. A melange of complementary colors adorns each side -- vibrant sunset-gold at the borders, surrounding pale-blue and deep-lilac centers. A diagnostic flat rim surrounds both obverse and reverse. It is an immaculate representative of the year and the series, not to mention an ultimate candidate for the finest Registry Set. Population: 8 in 68 (2 in 68+), 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 68, 0 finer (8/20).(Registry values: N4719)
