1930-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-67+ (NGC).A coin with few equals, and no superiors among 1930-S nickels seen by PCGS and NGC. Fully lustrous in a satiny texture, the surfaces are as smooth and blemish free as they were on the day of striking. The detail is sharp to full throughout, and an overlay of delicate champagne-pink iridescence adds further appeal.<p>This Depression era minor coin issue from the San Francisco Mint did not enter circulation immediately, due to lack of commercial demand. By 1932, contemporary dealers and collectors were ordering examples directly from the Treasury Department, explaining the generous Mint State population in todays market. Precious few, however, are as expertly preserved and visually appealing as this extraordinary Superb Gem. A condition rarity par excellence worthy of inclusion in the finest Buffalo nickel set.PCGS# 3970. NGC ID: 22SJ.NGC Census: 2; 0 finer. The corresponding PCGS is identical at 2/0.
