1921 Buffalo Nickel. MS-67 (NGC).A lovely Superb Gem with mottled iridescent toning to smooth satin surfaces. Vivid shades of gold, orange and blue-green are all evident as the coin rotates under a light. Sharply struck, as befits the issue, and eagerly awaiting inclusion in a top flight Buffalo nickel set. The 1921 is one of the scarcer Philadelphia Mint issues in this series with a relatively limited mintage of 10,663,000 circulation strikes. Even so, it is not a major rarity in an absolute sense and locating a Mint State example in most grades should not prove too difficult in todays market. We stress the word "most" in the preceding sentence, however, for at the MS-67 level the coin offered here is a noteworthy condition rarity that ranks among the finest certified. Sure to catch the eye of astute bidders.NGC Census: 11; 1 finer (MS-67+).
