1918-D Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (NGC). CAC. A boldly, if not sharply struck example in a 1918-D nickel, this noteworthy Gem also offers full mint luster and attractive toning in silver-gray and sandy-gold. As with the 1917-D, the 1918-D is elusive even in the finer circulated grades. The typical Mint State survivor is softly struck and in lower levels of preservation through MS-63. A well struck Gem, as here, is rare and eagerly sought by specialists. It ranks among the most desirable examples from this mintage of 8.3 million. A significant coin that is sure to see spirited bidding at auction. From the Old Time Buffalo Set.
