1923-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-63 (NGC). OH. Satiny surfaces with vivid iridescent toning in warm apricot-gray. After a brief hiatus in 1922, nickel production resumed in 1923 at Philadelphia and San Francisco after stockpiles of earlier nickels had finally been exhausted. The overall striking quality for the S-Mint issue of the date is a mixed bag, with many coins struck from a moderately strong obverse die paired with an older reverse die so worn from heavy use that many key details are nearly flat. This bold and attractive coin is finer than most and would make a noteworthy addition to any advanced Buffalo nickel specialists cabinet. From the Old Time Buffalo Set.
