1913-S Buffalo Nickel. Type I. MS-67+ (NGC). CAC.

1913-S Buffalo Nickel. Type I. MS-67+ (NGC). CAC. This lovely example exhibits delicate, iridescent toning in champagne-gold and pale pink over soft satin luster. The surfaces are carefully preserved to allow full appreciation of the rustic texture (as made) for which these Type I Buffalo nickels are known. Both sides are fully struck with strong visual appeal. The 1913-S is the scarcest of the three circulation strike Buffalo nickels of the Type I design. The mintage is just 2,105,000 pieces, as opposed to 5,337,000 for the 1913-D Type I and a staggering 30,993,520 for the Philadelphia Mint 1913 Type I. In Superb Gem Mint State, as here, this San Francisco Mint issue is rare and seldom offered under normal market conditions. CAC approval provides additional appeal for the present example. NGC Census: 16; 5 finer (all MS-68). The corresponding PCGS Population is similar at 12/8 (MS-68 also finest). CAC Stickered Population: 18; 1. The former total includes coins certified both MS-67 and MS-67+. PCGS# 3917. NGC ID: 22PY. Click here for certification details from NGC.
