Description du lot

1916 Buffalo Nickel. Proof-65 (NGC). OH. A charming Gem that exhibits warm orange-gray patina to fully struck, satin-textured surfaces. With the lowest mintage of its type, it should come as no surprise that the 1916 is the rarest Proof Buffalo nickel. Survivors are even more elusive than a delivery of 600 pieces might imply, for many unsold examples are believed to have been destroyed through melting when the Mint suspended Proof coin sales at the end of that year. This lovely specimen is sure to appeal to astute bidders. PCGS# 3993. NGC ID: 278V. Click here for certification details from NGC.
