1913 Buffalo Nickel. Type II. Proof-66+ (PCGS). CAC. Fully struck with bright satin surfaces, delightful toning in iridescent champagne-pink and powder blue further enhances this coins tremendous appeal. 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, particularly with the outstanding quality and eye appeal offered here. From the Collection of Silas Stanley Roberts, 1888-1966.
