Lot 239 - 1919-D Buffalo Nickel NGC MS65
1919-D Buffalo Nickel. The 1919-D is a noteworthy scarcity in the Buffalo Nickel series, both in terms of availability in Mint State and from a strike perspective. This beautifully toned representative is endowed with especially bold definition over the major design elements and is layered in orange and steel-blue shades. A nearly unsurpassable example of this prized D-mint Buffalo.

Along with the 1920-D, the 1919-D is the rarest Denver Mint Buffalo Nickel at the sharply struck Gem grade level (this per Larry Whitlow, as noted by David Lange). Even the plate coin in the book The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, Second Edition is a tad softly impressed over the central highpoints on both sides. Not so the present example. (#3942)
