1914-D AU, 1920-S MS-60/corroded, and 1925-S MS-60/obverse scratch. 1914-D AU, 1920-S MS-60/corroded, and 1925-S MS-60/obverse scratch.
Lot Title: 1914-D AU, 1920-S MS-60/corroded, and 1925-S MS-60/obverse scratch.
Description: A trio of better buffalo nickels, none of them certified. 1914-D has better than AU details, but a scrape on the Indian's cheek almost eludes detection, and brings the overall net grade to AU-50. 1920-D with MS-60 detail seems very nice at first glance, particularly for an issue frequently found ugly, but the highpoint details have rough texture from past corrosion. Finally, 1925-S is the best piece in the group, with uncirculated details and a better strike than average for the date. A thin scratch on the Indian's jaw barely requires mention. Three coin lot.

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.

Low Estimate: $750.00
High Estimate: $950.00

1914-D PCGS MS-65 (green label).
157 graded MS-65, 45 higher at PCGS. Recognizable as a somewhat tougher issue at the gem level, 1914-D shows a modest PCGS population in higher grades that demands at least a 200% increase in cost! ...

1914-D PCGS AU-58.
Famous as a key to the Lincoln cent series, "1914-D" also has a reputation as a "tough out" for collectors assembling sets of buffalo nickels despite lack of cachet as a true "key date". Here is an...
318The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$550.00
1914-D NGC MS-64.
All the makings of a gem buffalo nickel would seem to come together in harmony for this 1914-D. Great luster fills both sides, draped in attractive pearly-tan tone, and exemplary detail was brought...
266The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$425.00
1914-D PCGS MS-63.
Glittering luster and a very attractive strike lead to "choice BU" assessment by PCGS. Surfaces glimmer with hints of apricot-gold patina, and close examination is useful for appreciating the fine...

1914-D, 1925-S and 1926-D Buffalo nickels, all certified.
Better certified buffalo nickels comprise this lot. The 1914-D is graded MS-62 by ANACS, providing an accurate reflection of the blunt central strike that is often seen on this issue. NGC has graded...
365The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$925.00
1914-D and 1914-S Buffalo nickels, PCGS MS-64.
1914-D and 1914-S buffalo nickels are each graded MS-64 by PCGS, but the similarity between these two ends there. The Denver coin is filled with fabulous, gleaming ice-blue and lavender-rose luster...
351The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$270.00
1914-D ICG AU-53.
Incandescent tones of violet, blue, and magenta can be observed on this super nice Buffalo Nickel. Only a bit of wear keeps this coin out of an Uncirculated holder.

1914-D NGC MS-62.
Shimmering tones adorn both the obverse and reverse of this well-struck Buffalo Nickel. Earlier nickels are becoming harder and harder to find in nice condition. This coin is housed a slightly older...
