<Our item number 113903><B>1913 Buffalo Nickel. Type 2. PCGS graded Proof 67.</B> Well struck. An attractive example. A blazing beauty of a gem, in fact, if readers will forgive a bit of hyperbole! The satiny surfaces are alight with bright nickel gray sheen.<BR><BR>Proof coins of the Indian head/buffalo nickel type that were struck for sale to collectors from 1913-16 are referred to as &#34;matte&#34; Proofs, but this is misleading. True matte Proofs have a dullish sand-blast finish dissimilar to the surfaces seen on these, and this technique of Proofing was used by the Mint exclusively for its gold coinage of 1908 and 1911-15. The Proof nickels of 1913-16, like the cents of those years, actually possess a satin finish. This varies in texture from one date to the next and even within a single year&#39;s coinage. When found pristine, like the 1913 Type 2 offered here, these coins are extremely beautiful and visibly distinctive from currency strikes. Only 1,514 Proofs struck.<B>Pop 40: Pop 40; 4 finer in 68.</ B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 3990&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;4,600-4,800. <BR><BR>Our item number 113903<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/113903.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/113903N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
