1913 Buffalo Nickel. Type II. Proof-65 (NGC). OH.A smartly impressed, fully defined Gem with a smooth satin texture to silver-gray surfaces. Just 1,514 Proofs were struck of this type in 1913, and this is the rarest Proof Buffalo nickel after only the 1916. Obviously most contemporary collectors acquired a Type I Proof nickel to mark the designs first year. Disenchantment with the satin finish of these coins further explains why comparatively few examples of the Type II were preserved.PCGS# 3990. NGC ID: 278S.
