- 1916-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-66 (PCGS).
Iridescent champagne-apricot toning blends with satiny mint luster on both sides of this smooth and inviting example. Production of Buffalo nickels at San Francisco was stepped up significantly in 1916, roughly eight times more than in the previous year. With such larger scale production, care in manufacture was not always observed closely. Sometimes plagued by poorly mixed alloy and an uneven strike often combined with worn dies, the 1916-S can be especially challenging to locate as a sharp coin. The vast majority of the known Uncirculated specimens are found in the Choice to lower Gem Mint State levels, at which the 1916-S is one of the most available of the early San Francisco Mint Buffalo nickels. However, the 1916-S is a notable condition rarity above MS-65 and seldom encountered with the quality offered here. A prime candidate for an advanced specialist in this series.
