1920-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-65+ (PCGS).Exceptionally well produced and preserved in a survivor of this conditionally challenging San Francisco Mint issue, this gorgeous coin would serve as a highlight in even the finest Buffalo nickel set. Smartly impressed, both sides exhibit sharp to full striking detail that even extends to the central obverse high point and the bisons head and shoulder on the reverse. Satiny luster is full and intense, the surfaces silky smooth in texture with delicate champagne-gold highlights.<p>Although not as rare as the 1920-D in circulated grades, the 1920-S is a leading condition rarity in this popular 20th century series. Even low end Mint State coins with poor striking detail can be elusive in todays market. In crisply impressed Gem Mint State, the present example is very rare indeed and worthy of the strongest bids.
