Lot Description

Premium Quality Gem 1920-D Buffalo Nickel 1920-D Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (PCGS). Handsome pearl gray surfaces are softly frosted and support sharp to full striking detail over most design elements. As with so many mintmarked Buffalo nickel issues from the 1910s and 1920s, the 1920-D is typically encountered either well worn or in lower Mint State grades. Among the Mint State survivors poor striking quality and inferior luster are the rule, explaining the scarcity of premium quality Gems such as that offered here. Indeed, this is one of the better produced and more attractive survivors that we have brought to auction in recent years. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS# 3945. NGC ID: 22RR.
