1919-D Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (PCGS). This warmly toned example exhibits intermingled blushes of pale powder blue to dominant reddish-apricot patina. Near-fully struck, and uncommonly so for this challenging issue, lustrous surfaces are also remarkably smooth in hand even for the MS-65 grade assigned by PCGS. Many numismatic experts rank the 1919-D alongside the 1920-D as the rarest Denver Mint Buffalo nickel in fully struck Gem Uncirculated condition, which fact confirms the significance of this offering for the astute bidder.
