Buffalo Nickel
1919-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (PCGS). OGH.
Offered is a very well produced and exceptionally well preserved example of this challenging Denver Mint Buffalo nickel. Crisply impressed, both sides exhibit sharp to full detail throughout the design. Dusted with iridescent golden-apricot toning, the surfaces are lustrous and as smooth as one should demand for the assigned grade. The 7,521,000 nickels produced at the San Francisco Mint in 1919 were primarily introduced into circulation with little notice. Scarce even above the Fine grade level, the 1919-S is one of the most challenging Buffalo nickels to collect with excellent surface preservation and a quality strike. Mint State specimens are known in modest quantities, but they are seldom found above MS-64, and are rare with sharp to full definition. The Larry H. Miller 1919-S is a superior Gem that would be difficult to improve upon.
