1924-D Buffalo Nickel. MS-65 (NGC). CAC. Handsome apricot-gray surfaces with blushes of golden-olive in isolated peripheral areas. Both sides are overall sharply defined with a full endowment of smooth, lively mint luster. The Denver Mint resumed production of nickels in 1924 after a four-year break. With most of the 5,258,000 coins entering circulation, the 1924-D is one of the scarcest Denver Mint Buffalo nickels in Mint State. Somewhat scarce even in the higher circulated states of preservation, 1924-D nickels were quite difficult to acquire until a small group from the Connecticut State Library were made available in the 1990s. Even so, Gem Mint State specimens remain as elusive as ever. This MS-65 is among the finest certified by NGC and approved by CAC. From the Old Time Buffalo Set.
