Losbeschreibung

Faint pastels of gold, pink, and blue accent the satiny surfaces of this Gem. Nicely struck for the issue with superior striking quality and outstanding preservation. As with many of the San Francisco Mint nickels from the 1920s, those of the 1927-S issue were eagerly accepted in commerce with little notice. Collecting by mint mark became more widely popular in the 1930s, by which time the nickels had already spent several years in circulation. Unlike the nickels struck at Denver the same year, overall these were well struck, even though many are known quite soft in detail. Mint State examples are challenging even at the Choice level, but the issue is one of the principal condition rarities of the entire series in Gem. Exceptional in every regard, a strong bidding strategy is advised to secure this example meant for only the finest of collections.
