1915-D Buffalo Nickel. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC.Sharply struck with a soft even hue on evenly satiny surfaces free of any defects or marks with boundless eye appeal, a vivid specimen of a conditionally challenging issue. Despite the generous mintage of 7,569,500 nickels struck at the Denver Mint in 1915, production was haphazard and often from cracked and worn dies, making well struck examples exceptionally demanding to locate. This overall subpar production quality seems to have afflicted most Denver Mint issues from this period and may be the result of poor die hardening or some other technical fault that persisted for several years. The population figures are likely bolstered by resubmissions, demonstrating the desirability of this issue at this level of preservation. Premium quality in every regard as affirmed by the CAC label, a strong bidding strategy will be required to secure this expertly preserved Gem nickel.
