1924-D 5C MS65 PCGS. The '24-D is the first Denver Mint Nickel produced since 1920. Although one might be tempted to assume that virtually all of the 5.2 million pieces delivered were sorely needed in circulation, Lange (2000) states that this may not have been the case. While it is almost certain that most 1924-D Nickels were placed into circulation shortly after striking, the author opines that some examples may have remained in bank holdings until after the worst years of the Great Depression had passed. This theory seems likely because, although scarce in all grades, the '24-D is a bit more common in Mint State than most other branch mint Nickels from the 1920s. Still, this is a conditionally rare Gem whose devices exhibit above average striking detail. The Buffalo's head is a little softly detailed, but Lange states that this feature is common to most survivors of this issue. Shimmering mint luster is fully appreciable beneath an even overlay of warm orange-gray patina. A few sprays of pale lilac and powder-blue toning are noted here and there.
