1918-D Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (PCGS). OGH. Sharply struck with soft mint luster to lightly toned silver-gray surfaces. As with the 1917-D, the 1918-D nickel is elusive even in the finer circulated grades. The typical Mint State survivor is softly struck and in lower levels of preservation through MS-63. A well struck Gem, as here, is rare and eagerly sought by specialists. From the Larry H. Miller Collection. From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
