A beautifully toned example with orange-gold iridescence around the periphery that blends seamlessly with lilac-silver central toning. Smooth satin luster is seen throughout, the surfaces of full Gem Mint State quality were it not for a touch of characteristic striking softness to the high points. Scarce in an absolute sense due a relatively limited mintage of 4,882,000 pieces, the 1918-S is particularly elusive in the finer Mint State grades, as here. With superior eye appeal, as well, this coin is sure to appeal to the discerning Buffalo nickel specialist.,PCGS# 3940. NGC ID: 22RK.,,
