1937 Buffalo Nickel, PR68
Last Proof Date of the Series

1937 5C PR68 PCGS. CAC. A small proof mintage of 5,769 Buffalo nickels was accomplished in 1937, the second year of modern proof coinage, and the last proof date for this popular design. In spite of the small mintage, the 1937 is still the most available proof Buffalo nickel, as many examples were saved by collectors at the time of issue. Of course, the date is very scarce at the PR68 level. Currently, PCGS has certified only 10 coins in PR68, with a single example finer (3/10). The present coin is a spectacular specimen, with brightly mirrored fields that illuminate spectacular multicolored iridescent toning. The design elements are fully brought up, and no flaws are visible to the naked eye. The outstanding visual appeal is attested by the CAC sticker.(Registry values: N2998)
