Lot 275 - 1936 Buffalo Nickel. Type 2 PCGS PR66
1936 Buffalo Nickel. Type 2. The matte Proof nickels of 1913-16 came to a sudden end and there were no more Proofs struck for another 20 years. Then the Proof nickels of 1936 and 1937 were made and, like other denominations, sold individually as well as in the Proof sets. The cost of a Proof buffalo nickel from these years was 20 cents, plus 8 cents for postage. These latter two dates were delivered in cellophane bags or sleeves, folded and stapled at their open end. The toning effects that often result from such storage are unpredictable, but their progress was usually slow. Nice, original Proof nickels of 1936-37 are more readily available than those of 1913-16. A glittering gem. (#3995)
