1916 Buffalo Nickel, PR66
Lowest-Mintage Matte Proof Issue

1916 5C JD-1, High R.2, PR66 NGC. The Philadelphia Mint struck only 600 proof Buffalo nickels for collectors in 1916 and discontinued the program of commercial proof offerings after that year. It is likely that some examples went unsold, due to decreased collector demand. This Premium Gem proof is fully struck on both sides. Light tan-gold toning shimmers across the satin-smooth fields for excellent eye appeal. NGC Census: 55 in 66 (4 in 66+, 1 in 66 ), 36 finer (12/25).
From The Monomoy Collection.

Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 103094, Base PCGS# 3993)
