1925-D Buffalo Nickel. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC. A pearly and intensely lustrous Gem struck midway through the Roaring Twenties. Subtle hints of golden iridescence are backlit by satiny texture across the surfaces. Virtually pristine beneath a glass, and not surprising since this piece ranks among the very finest 1925-D nickels seen by both PCGS and CAC.<p>From a mintage of 4,450,000 coins, survivors of which are scarce in all grades. The 1925-D is typically found well circulated, and even Mint State examples are limited in quality by inferior luster, surface marks and, especially, poor striking detail. Indeed, most Uncirculated survivors of this issue are flatly struck, especially on the reverse. A find for the discerning Buffalo nickel enthusiast, this crisply impressed and expertly preserved upper end Gem would serve as a highlight of the finest Buffalo nickel set.
