1925-S 5C MS (PCGS#3956)

Spring 2025 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: Billowy mint luster mingles nicely with icy-silver and pale champagne-pink iridescence. Detail is universally sharp to full throughout the design, and significantly so, while the surfaces are well preserved and attractive. One of the most poorly produced issues in this series, the 1925-S is typically encountered with extreme softness of detail in the center of the obverse, over the high points of the bison on the reverse, and/or in the mintmark area on that side. On many mintmarked 1925 Buffalo nickels that your cataloger (JLA) has seen over the years, in fact, the mintmark is little more than a shapeless blob, making it impossible to attribute the coins as 1925-D or 1925-S. This will be a significant find for the advanced collector specializing in this popular, yet challenging series.<p>
