1915-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (NGC). CAC. OH. A highlight among the early date coins in this set, the lustrous surfaces of this 1915-S are aglow with a satiny to modestly semi-reflective finish. Lightly toned in silver-gray with a nice strike for the issue that is bold to sharp in all areas. One of the scarcest Buffalo nickels produced up to that time, the 1915-S can be challenging to locate even in Choice Mint State. Examples grading finer than MS-64 are rare. A mintage of 1,505,000 coins helps to explains this issues conditionally challenging nature, but the more significant factor is softness of strike. Ideally suited for inclusion in another high quality Buffalo nickel set, this impressive coin numbers among the finest example of the 1915-S that we have offered in recent memory. From the Old Time Buffalo Set.
