Lot Description

Crisply rendered design elements stand out boldly on intensely lustrous surfaces. Virtually untoned, this coin is as fresh, brilliant, and vibrant as the day it came off the coinage press. Trailing only the 1938-D, the 1937 is the second most common issue in the circulation strike Buffalo nickel series, and the only other one for which certified MS-68s are occasionally encountered. Ultra Gems are rare in an absolute sense, of course, and enjoy strong collector demand for both type and date purposes. This dazzling example will surely see spirited bidding as it transitions into a new collection.
