1913 Buffalo Nickel. Type II. Proof-67 (NGC).
A radiant example of this transitional type with bright, satiny luster blanketing the surfaces on each side. The surfaces are marbled with vibrant honey-gold colorations, somewhat deeper on the reverse, complementing the bold and untouched design elements throughout. From a mintage of 1,514 pieces, survivors of which are the rarest Proof Buffalo nickels after only those from the 1916 issue. Obviously most contemporary collectors acquired a Type I example for their first year Proof Buffalo nickel acquisition, their disenchantment with the Matte finish of these coins further explaining why comparatively few examples of the Type II issue were preserved.
PCGS# 3990. NGC ID: 278S.
