Lot Description

This is a boldly struck, remarkably well preserved example of the otherwise relatively obtainable 1929-D nickel. Both sides exhibit a smooth frosty texture with a delightful overlay of iridescent ice-blue and champagne-pink toning. Virtually pristine, and exceptional in every way.<p>As one of the more frequently encountered Denver Mint Buffalo nickels from the 1920s, the 1929-D is popular with mintmarked type collectors seeking to avoid the truly common issues in this series such as the 1938-D. In certified Superb Gem Mint State, however, this issue is rare and would do equally well in an advanced type collection or high quality date set. This is the finest we can recall offering for the 1929-D in recent decades, and its inclusion in this sale represents a fleeting opportunity for discerning numismatists.
