1923-S 5C MS65 NGC. After not having produced any Nickels since 1921, the San Francisco Mint returne
1923-S 5C MS65 NGC. After not having produced any Nickels since 1921, the San Francisco Mint returned to the fray in the later months of 1923. The vast majority of the 6.1 million pieces delivered in the latter year entered circulation, providing a sizeable pool from which hoarders in the 1940s and 1950s could draw. This fact, coupled with seemingly chronic striking difficulties at the San Francisco Mint, explains why so few Gems are extant. Far superior to the typically offered Uncirculated survivor, this coin is sharply struck over virtually all features. Satin luster shimmers beneath streaks of reddish-tan patina that yield to near-brilliance in the center of the reverse. There are also some faint powder-blue and lilac colors intermingled in a few areas. One thing that we do not see, however, is a distracting blemish, be it an abrasion or a carbon spot. Population: 15 in 65, 3 finer (11/02). Important notice: We expect to be auctioning lots at the rate of 200-250 per hour.
