1927-D Buffalo Nickel. MS-64 (NGC). OH. Underrated relative to the better known Buffalo nickel strike rarities such as the 1919-D, 1919-S, 1920-S, 1925-D and 1925-S, the 1927-D is very challenging to locate in well defined Mint State. The present example is typically soft in the centers, but the luster quality and surface preservation are strong enough to support a higher numeric grade. From the Old Time Buffalo Set.
