1920-D Buffalo Nickel. MS-64 (NGC).

Smartly impressed surfaces are sharply to fully rendered in virtually all areas. The luster is full, smooth and blanketed by warm tan-gray patina. As with so many mintmarked Buffalo nickel issues from the 1910s and 1920s, the 1920-D is typically encountered either well worn or in lower Mint State grades. Among the Mint State survivors poor striking quality and inferior luster are the rule, explaining the scarcity of attractive Choice- and Gem-quality examples such as that offered here. Indeed, this is one of the better produced and more desirable survivors that we have brought to auction in recent years.

PCGS# 3945. NGC ID: 22RR.

From the Old Time Buffalo Set.

Estimate: $ 1500
