Lot Description

An absolutely outstanding example of this otherwise readily obtainable Philadelphia Mint Buffalo nickel issue. The surfaces approach numismatic perfection with a silky smooth appearance to a brightly lustrous, softly frosted finish. Exquisitely toned, as well, with halos of golden-apricot peripheral iridescence around ice-blue centers. Boldly to sharply struck throughout. With only a single coin certified finer for the 1935 at this service, this dazzling Ultra Gem would be a significant addition to any Buffalo nickel collection competing for top ranking on the PCGS Set Registry.
