1917-S 5C MS66 PCGS. Lilac, apricot, and lemon colors
<B>1917-S 5C MS66 PCGS.</B></I> Lilac, apricot, and lemon colors illuminate this exceptional Premium Gem. According to David Lange, as written in his reference <I>The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, Second Edition</B></I> (2000), "the typical 1917-S is poorly struck from worn dies." On the present piece, however, the strike is surprisingly crisp, not only on the legends but also on the Indian's braid and on the bison's tail, head, and shoulder. An impressive example of this early low mintage branch mint issue, it is not surprising that neither PCGS nor NGC have certified any pieces finer. Population: 21 in 66, 0 finer (12/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
