1936 Buffalo Nickel. Satin Proof-67+ (PCGS). CAC.Fully struck with virtually pristine surfaces. A blush of pale champagne-gold iridescence on both sides enhances the appeal of this beautiful Superb Gem. The 1936 is the first Proof Buffalo nickel produced since 1916. Rarer than the only other Proof Buffalo nickel of its era -- the 1937 -- the 1936 has a mintage of 4,420 pieces. Nearly two-thirds of the coins struck were made with a satin finish, as here, though the number of Brilliant and Satin Proofs known for the date are about equal in todays numismatic marketplace. Both variants are noteworthy condition rarities in the finest certified grades, making this a significant offering for the quality conscious collector.PCGS# 3994. NGC ID: 278X.
