1917-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-66+ (PCGS).A full strike sets this coin apart from the vast majority of survivors of this 4,193,000-piece issue. Warmly and originally toned in a blend of iridescent pastel colors over smooth satin surfaces, the eye appeal is simply stunning. Tied with just two others at the top of the PCGS Population.David Lange noted that few coins of this issue could be found extremely well struck and we think this bears out when one looks at the grading populations. Rare any finer than MS-65, James Earle Fraser’s all American design seldom appears finer where the present date is concerned, and we expect strong competition when this nickel crosses the auction block.The PCGS CoinFacts Plate Coin.
