1938-D/S Buffalo Nickel. Buffalo. MS-68 (PCGS).A gorgeous multi-color patina of magenta, emerald, and powder blue pastels dominates both sides of this popular overmintmark variety. The luster is intense and the surfaces remain virtually pristine beneath a glass. A popular transitional issue, several dramatic varieties are noted for the 1938-D Buffalo nickel including both D/D and D/S varieties. While abundant in lower circulated grades, the present D/S becomes scarce in Gem Mint State with only approximately 6,000 known and most no finer than MS-66. At the MS-68 level, this example is among the very finest certified and is tied with just two other coins at PCGS and none finer. Clearly, it is destined for a very advanced collection on the Set Registry.PCGS# 3985. NGC ID: 22T3.
