- 1924-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (PCGS).
This lovely and rare Gem Mint State nickel features light golden toning that blends nicely with satiny mint luster. The surfaces are as nice as would be expected for the assigned grade, and the overall sharp detail is a notable departure from the typical soft strike seen on Uncirculated examples of this issue. 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 their scarcity became apparent, many had already served their duty in commerce. With one of the lowest mintages for the entire Buffalo series, the 1924-S nickel is among the most sought after dates in all grades. It is highly regarded as a strike rarity, as well, and finding specimens with sharp definition can be difficult. An especially well struck Gem such as this is a rare coin and its offering in this sale is certain to be appreciated by Buffalo nickel enthusiasts.
