1926-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.This breathtakingly beautiful example combines superior technical quality and outstanding eye appeal in a key date 1926-S nickel. Satiny and intensely lustrous, the surfaces are smooth enough to evoke thoughts of a full Gem grade. In fact, were it not for a touch of striking softness to the high points this coin may very well have received an MS-65 designation from PCGS. Halos of multicolored iridescent toning around the peripheries further enhance the appeal of this premium quality coin.<p>Discounting only the overdates and varieties such as the 1918/7-D and 1916 Doubled Die Obverse, the 1926-S is the rarest Buffalo nickel in Mint State. It has the lowest mintage of any circulation strike delivery of the type with only 970,000 coins produced. Even low grade Uncirculated survivors are very scarce, while Gems are "nearly unknown" per David W. Lange (<em>The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, Second Edition</em>, 2000). Indeed, this is one of the very few examples above the basal MS-64 level that we have handled in recent memory. As one of the finest certified survivors of this highly regarded issue, this is a significant coin that represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the collector assembling the finest Buffalo nickel set.PCGS Population: 11; 15 finer (MS-65+ finest).
