Lot Title:
|
1915-S NGC MS-64.
|
|
Description:
|
1.5 million nickels were coined at San Francisco in 1915, and while that is not a severely limited emission, better uncirculated examples are prized by collectors, placing this issue near semi-key status. Production was not quite the problem in San Fran that it would be a decade later, and sharp strikes are known for 1915-S, and on top of that, this example exhibits some of the very attractive semi-prooflike character that is also occasionally noted for the date. Thus, it is an utterly delightful coin, replete with original aluminum-rose patina and eye-appeal to spare. No important marks need be noted.

1915-S Buffalo nickel, ANACS MS-62

1915-S AU-55.

This Buffalo is steel gray in color with incandescent hues of rose. Full horn detail can be observed on the reverse. Only a small bit of wear is holding this coin back from a Mint State grade. |
