1936 Buffalo Nickel. Satin Proof-66 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Warmly patinated in apricot-gray, this beautiful Gem reveals intermingled salmon pink and golden-blue highlights. 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. Despite this, the number of Brilliant and Satin Proofs known for the date are about equal in todays marketplace.
