1917-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. This lovely Gem displays pale pinkish-silver iridescence, bold striking detail, and full mint luster. David Lange (2000) 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, we expect strong competition when this Gem crosses the auction block. From the Larry H. Miller Collection. From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
