1913 Buffalo Nickel. Type I. Proof-67+ (PCGS).Sharply struck with intricate detail throughout the design, this is an exceptionally well produced and preserved 1913 Type I nickel. Bold satin surfaces are pristine and brilliant. The first Proof issue of its type, the 1913 Type I was ordered in large numbers by contemporary Americans seeking a high quality example of the new design. Even so, survivors from a mintage of 1,520 pieces are not as plentiful as one might expect. Given that the satin finish of this issue was less dramatic than the brilliant and cameo finish used for Proof Liberty Head nickels, many examples were later spent or otherwise mishandled. Today, pieces are apt to grade no finer than Proof-66, with the Superb Gem offered here among the finest certified. An outstanding specimen that would serve as a highlight in the finest Proof type or date set.PCGS Population: 14; 4 finer (all Proof-68).
