- 1935-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-67 (NGC). CAC.
Virtually pristine surfaces are dressed in blended satin to softly frosted luster and iridescent toning. The reverse is more vivid than the silver-tinged obverse and displays intense champagne-apricot color. Produced toward the end of the Buffalo nickel series with a relatively generous mintage of 10,300,000 coins, the 1935-S was well positioned for a high rate of survival in Mint State. Such examples are certainly plentiful in today's market, but we caution bidders that the specter of soft striking detail typical of many earlier dated San Francisco Mint issues in this series also haunts the 1935-S. As such, cherrypicking is advised if one is on the hunt for a sharply struck MS-65. Coins grading MS-66 and, especially, MS-67 will be more challenging to locate in general as most Uncirculated survivors cannot support these grades due to poor striking detail. As an upper end Superb Gem this a true wonder coin in a 1935-S Buffalo nickel -- a surprise condition rarity for an otherwise readily obtainable issue that represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the astute collector.
Provenance: From the Old Time Buffalo Set.
