Lot Description

1915-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (NGC). Pleasing golden-gray iridescence enhances satiny, boldly to sharply defined surfaces. Faint planchet drift marks below the bison's abdomen and at the back of the Native American's head are as made. A scarce issue in an absolute sense from a mintage of 1,505,000 pieces, the 1915-S is also conditionally challenging and typically offered in the lowest circulated grades. As a well produced and carefully preserved Gem, this example is sure to appeal to astute bidders. Provenance: From our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection, May 1996, lot 818. PCGS# 3929. NGC ID: 22R9. Click here for certification details from NGC.
