1913-S Type 1. NGC MS-64.
|
|
Description:
|
While inaugural buffalo nickels from Philadelphia and Denver tend to be very well struck, San Francisco was already having difficulty producing sharp pieces, and this example falls just a little shy of being fully detailed. That aside, there is no question that the silky surfaces are well preserved and fully original, and in fact, this coin has an attractive glassy sheen that most collectors will find very appealing. A cracked die may be partially responsible for the inconsistent strike, as the buffalo's rump has a spike extending to the rim, yet the most obvious sign of weakness is at the other side of the coin, at his head, and correspondingly at the end of the Indian's first feather.

1913-S T1 Buffalo nickel, MS-64

An intriguing die scratch along the profile of the Indian's nose adds interest to this pretty coin. Some lavender patina rests across elevated areas of the Indian's portrait. |
