1919 Buffalo Nickel. MS-67 (PCGS).This is an incredible Superb Gem with satiny luster blanketing each side. Subtle hints of golden toning paint the rims and frame the overall untouched surfaces. Well struck and attractive. With a generous mintage of 60,868,000 pieces and an above average rate of survival as a Philadelphia Mint issue, the 1919 is one of the most common early date Buffalo nickels in Mint State. While Choice and Gem examples abound in numismatic circles, many are overall softly defined from having been struck from inadequately hubbed dies. The coin offered here is a noteworthy exception in this regard, its expert surface preservation and strong eye appeal further defining it as one of the finest 1919 Buffalo nickels extant. Just 3 coins have been certified finer by PCGS.
