1925-S 5C MS65 PCGS. It is absolutely remarkable that
<B>1925-S 5C MS65 PCGS.</B></I> It is absolutely remarkable that the present sale includes two Gem MS65 specimens of this important Buffalo nickel issue, each certified by PCGS and among the finest of its kind. These two pieces represent an amazing opportunity for series specialists. While the other example in this sale is brilliant with only light gold toning, the piece that is now offered will prove to be popular with those who appreciate attractive toning. Both sides have similar intermingled shades of pastel rose at the center, framed by rings of light blue and pale gold. The satin surfaces are fully lustrous and they are enhanced by the attractive toning.<BR> Each side also exhibits light clash marks and the obverse displays prominent flow lines near the border, suggesting a late die state, although the reverse die appears to be quite fresh. The obverse strike is far above average with a bold LIBERTY that is fully separated from the border. Close examination reveals some disturbances in the <I>plastic</B></I> holder that give the appearance of border roughness, although such is not the case on this piece. The reverse strike is absolutely full, and that characteristic alone is almost never seen on a '25-S Buffalo nickel. The bison's head details are fully defined, the tail is completely outlined and split over the hindquarter, and the mintmark is absolutely complete. Population: 17 in 65, 1 finer (2/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
