1916-D 5C MS66 PCGS. While David Lange''s The Complete
<B>1916-D 5C MS66 PCGS.</B></I> While David Lange's <I>The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels</B></I> describes this issue as "not particularly scarce" through the Choice level, he considers Gems "rare." The attractive example offered here is distinctly finer than that classification. Lange's commentary on the 1916-D lists it as an issue for which a trade-off between luster and strike exists, and while this piece has attractive, frosty texture, the strike is above-average for such a coin. Warm gold and pink patina graces the exquisitely preserved surfaces. Aside from two tiny marks and a lone fleck below the bison's head, this piece gives the appearance of an even higher grade. Tied for the finest certified by NGC or PCGS, with just four graded by the former and nine by the latter (2/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
