1917-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC.，This boldly struck Mint State 1917-S nickel also offers bright satin luster and pretty pale gold and powder blue iridescence. A relatively small mintage of 4,193,000 pieces and a high rate of attrition through circulation explain the scarcity of this issue in all Mint State grades. Well produced coins such as this are in the minority among survivors.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from Quality Sales Corp.s (Abner Kreisbergs) sale of June 1969, lot 315A. Lot tag included.，
