1915-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (NGC).Pleasing golden-gray iridescence enhances satiny, boldly to sharply defined surfaces. Faint planchet drift marks below the bisons abdomen and at the back of the Native Americans head are as made. A scarce issue in an absolute sense from a mintage of 1,505,000 pieces, the 1915-S is also conditionally challenging and typically offered in the lowest circulated grades. As a well produced and carefully preserved Gem, this example is sure to appeal to astute bidders.From our (Bowers and Merenas) sale of the Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection, May 1996, lot 818.
