An incredible quality, ultra high end GEM example that boasts an amazing allure for the type, but especially so for a 23-S! This gorgeous coin is clearly one of the FINEST extant; truly a delight to behold and will certainly be a highlight in any advanced set of Buffalo nickels! Here’s what differentiates this coin from the others grading MS 65+, the CAC sticker! It takes a special coin like this one to receive the coveted green bean. While so many examples are lacking in certain traits, this one sports them all! This fully struck example shows full definition in the legend, date, mintmark and design details on both the Indian’s braid and the bison’s hair, this beauty is a NOTCH ABOVE its competitors. The surface quality truly stands up to close inspection with a strong glass, revealing no marks or flecks of any consequence accented by a bold, smooth satin luster that enlivens both sides of this PQ GEM! PCGS 70, NGC 41, CAC 7. Just 10 have been graded MS65+, and we think there might just be two MS65+s approved by CAC. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $18,000 and keep in mind that there are just three finer (all MS66) at PCGS and the only CAC approved example sold nearly seven years ago for $67,563. If you are looking to upgrade your set, you will not find a better example anytime soon (or ever). Good luck! Cert. Number 25335059 PCGS # 3950.00
