1913 Buffalo Nickel. Type II. MS-67 (PCGS). CAC.Beautiful satin surfaces are veiled in soft, vivid toning of powder blue and reddish-apricot. The strike is very sharp with virtually all design elements fully rendered. Silky smooth and nearly pristine, this Superb Gem will please even the most discerning numismatist. The Philadelphia Mint began striking examples of the new design on May 10, 1913. In addition to placing the denomination FIVE CENTS within an exergue below the straight ground upon which the bison now stands, the Type II design features smoothed fields that no longer display the textured finish of the Type I. The 1913 Type II is readily obtainable in most grades, though in Superb Gem Mint State it emerges as a noteworthy condition rarity.PCGS# 3921. NGC ID: 22PZ.
