Lot Title:

Virtually complete set of Buffalo Nickels (missing only 18/17) in a Library of Coins album.
|
Description:
|
Circulated buffalo nickels form a high quality set, complete except for the overdate 1918/7-D (but including the three-legged coin). Based upon some notes and corresponding prices included on note cards at the back of the album, it appears this collection was assembled in 1966 at a cost-per-coin that seems almost beyond belief by today's prices. Grading of the era is remarkably consistent as well. While there are simply no cleaned coins at all, as is the usual case from this esteemed consignor, the 1916-D is corroded, and appears to be the lone "problem coin". Specific highlights are indicated as follows: 1913 type-1 (MS-60), 1913-D type-2 (VG), 1913-S type-2 (F), 1914-D (VG), 1915 (MS-60), 1915-S (G), 1919-D (F and perfect), 1921-S (F and exceptional for the issue and grade), 1923-S (VF), 1926-S (VG), and 1937-D three-legged (XF-45 with luster). An extra coin is a 1938-D/S grading MS-60. Definitely an exceptional quality set of coins from the Tabasco Sauce Collection.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
