Lot Title:
|
1913-S Type 1 PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Description:
|
While personal hygiene is always appreciated, graders really should shave before coming to work, since stubble is always unwelcome on one's coins, and there is one short stubbly hair on each side of this 1913-S nickel -- at the top of the Indian's primary feather, and at the bison's tail. Fortunately, the coin itself is a fine example of numismatic excellence, featuring luster and strike that are somewhat better than expected for a San Francisco nickel. Platinum-grey patina dominates each side, accented with gently developing album tones at the edges. Shave at home, not at your desk! Oh, and the label on the PCGS holder is incorrect too. This coin is definately not a 1915-S.

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. |
