1924-S Buffalo Nickel
<B>1924-S Buffalo Nickel.</B> <B>PCGS graded MS-65.</B> A well struck lustrous gem! The 1924-S with 1.4 million pieces produced is one of the most difficult semi-keys to the buffalo nickel series. The rarity of this issue is such that it is elusive in higher circulated as well as Mint State grades. Everyone agrees that the &#39;24-S generally comes with an adequate to better than average strike. Compare this to the usual miserable 1925-S and the almost impossible 1926-S. In addition to overall crispness of strike, this lovely Gem MS65 displays attractive original color. Both sides are layered in well-blended champagne, dusky lavender-gray, and brownish colors. The luster is both full and pleasing with its satin smoothness, soft rather than hard like the luster of a P-mint nickel. There are no obvious marks or carbon flecks, we are happy to say, and the eye appeal is among the best that we have seen on this elusive S-mint nickel. <B>Pop 32; only one better by a point.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 3953&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;10,000-11,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 90395<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/34jpegs/090395.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/34jpegs/090395N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
