- Impressive Gem 1924-S Buffalo Nickel
Just Two Graded Finer by PCGS
1924-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-66 (PCGS).
Here is an exceptional Gem that is as pristine as it is attractive. The surfaces are smooth and lightly toned in warm pastels gold, violet and powder blue. The satiny texture emphasizes the exceptional strike and absence of any notable marks. It is one of the finest examples known, tied with two others at PCGS with only two finer, those graded MS-66+.
Just under one and a half million nickels were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1924 and immediately entered circulation, where they initially attracted little numismatic interest. By the time the rarity of the issue became apparent, many had already served their duty in commerce. With one of the lowest mintages for the entire series, the 1924-S nickel is among the most sought after key issues in all grades. It is well known to be softly struck in general and finding specimens with sharp details can be arduous. An especially well struck specimen such as this is a rare and special occurrence certain to be appreciated by the most discerning nickel specialists.
PCGS Population: 3; 2 finer.
PCGS# 3953. NGC ID: 22RZ.
