Lot Description

1928 Buffalo Nickel. MS-67+ (PCGS). An incredibly well struck and lustrous example with silky smooth surfaces swathed in a blend of warm pastel iridescence. Pale shades of fuchsia and powder blue shimmer over the devices on both sides, while a tinge of gold glows in the fields, seemingly to highlight the Native American and bison against a glowing sunrise. Exceptionally attractive and close to pristine, this is a true condition rarity for this otherwise readily obtainable Philadelphia Mint issue, one with a respectable mintage of 23,411,000 pieces. A prestigious coin destined for a home in an advanced numismatic cabinet, ideally one that includes a high-ranked Buffalo nickel set on the PCGS Registry. PCGS Population: just 1; 0 finer. PCGS# 3963. NGC ID: 22SB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
