Description
PR68 1915 Buffalo Nickel
An Essentially Perfect Proof Striking
1915 5C PR68 NGC. There were seven proof issues in the
Buffalo nickel series and the first five struck were struck with a
matte finish. The 1915 was the penultimate matte proof issue and is
the second-rarest after the 1916. Proofs of all denominations were
discontinued after 1916 due to collector dissatisfaction with the
matte finish and the mint's reluctance to take the time to prepare
proofs of the newly issued silver dimes, quarters, and half
dollars.A pleasing ring of deep golden-russet patina encircles the steel-blue and silver-gray centers of this piece. Satiny luster glistens over the virtually perfect surfaces. The strike is needle-sharp, as one would expect. A boldly attractive specimen. Census: 3 in 68, 1 finer (4/10).
