Lot Description

Softly toned in silver gray, ice blue and pinkish-apricot iridescence, all of which is enlivened by a smooth, satiny luster. From a mintage of 4,450,000 coins, survivors of which are scarce in all grades. The 1925-D is typically found well circulated, and even Mint State examples are limited in quality by inferior luster, surface marks and, especially, poor striking detail. Indeed, most Uncirculated survivors of this issue are flatly struck, especially on the reverse. A find for the discerning Buffalo nickel enthusiast, this expertly preserved upper end Gem would serve as a highlight in an advanced Buffalo nickel set.
