Lot 232 - 1917-D Buffalo Nickel PCGS MS65
1917-D Buffalo Nickel. An issue that is difficult to locate without some striking incompleteness, the '17-D is also a condition rarity in the finer Mint State levels. That said, hope that bidders' attention will focus on this richly nickel-bright example. The strike is about as sharp as we can remember seeing on a 1917-D buffalo. What's more, the detail at the bison's shoulder on the reverse (to mention just one facet) appears to be sharper than that on a recently sold MS66 in a competitor's auction. Now that is saying something! Satiny luster is seen throughout, but we do note one or two very tiny marks in the hair, possibly resulting from the way the coin was struck. As might be expected, given the high grade, this coin is distraction-free for the assigned grade, and deserves a strong bid among specialists. (#3935)
