<B>1926-S 5C MS64 PCGS.</B></I> As the only Buffalo nickel issue with a mintage of under a million pieces, the 1926-S has long attracted attention from numismatists. While moderately circulated pieces are readily available in the marketplace, better problem-free pieces prove elusive. Many Mint State representatives show significant weakness on the highpoints, which makes finding an attractive high-end exemplar all the more challenging.<BR> Though the Indian's braid shows a measure of softness, the reverse detail is strong overall, including excellent definition on the bison's horn. Nickel-gray, rose-gold, and delicate aqua tints visit the quicksilver surfaces. The obverse approaches Gem status, though a single abrasion on the bison's shoulder precludes such a designation. Still, an uncommonly appealing representative of this prized San Francisco issue. PCGS has certified just 11 finer representatives (10/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James E.
