Description

Elusive 1915 Buffalo Nickel, PR66

1915 5C PR66 PCGS. Second scarcest date in the matte proof series. Only 1,050 pieces were produced of the 1915, and it is likely that some were melted as unsold in the following year. This particular piece shows the arcing die crack Breen mentions as diagnostic of proofs, one that traverses the bison's shoulder and chest. (This die crack, however, is inconclusive evidence of a proof striking.) This is a splendid proof with no carbon in evidence on either side. The surfaces are light gray overall, with a tinge of rose and lilac interspersed throughout. Housed in a green-label holder.(Registry values: N1793)
