Description

Fascinating 1936 Buffalo, PR64
Brilliant Obverse, Satin Reverse

1936 5C Type One--Satin Finish PR64 PCGS. A rather intriguing specimen that may add to our knowledge of these proof nickels. Described as a Satin Finish proof on the PCGS holder, the reverse of this coin clearly and obviously has a satin finish with a lustrous field and little reflectivity. However, the obverse has a fully reflective and lightly mirrored field. The two sides are also toned differently, with lovely gold and iridescent toning on the obverse, and pale blue toning on the reverse. A fascinating study coin, and perhaps unique as a transitional proof variety.(Registry values: N991)
