1924-S NGC MS-64. 1924-S NGC MS-64.
Lot Title: 1924-S NGC MS-64.
Description: A low population (for such a widely collected series) of 93 in MS-64 and just 19 graded higher ensures that the 1924-S will never cease to be a key date in the set. Indeed, while 1926-S is often touted as the "toughest" date in this grade, NGC has actually certified substantially more of that date than the '24-S! Add to that the appeal of a coin with superior aesthetic quality, and you have a trophy. Pastel shades of salmon-magenta and denim-blue grace both sides of the coin, with slightly more vivid presence on the reverse. Contrary to the frequent mushy specimens, the bison's horn is very sharp, and the balance of the head details strong with just a touch of uppermost weakness. The tail is fully cleft. Admittedly, the Indian's braid displays some softer definition than the balance of the portrait, but LIBERTY is bolder than usual. Neither side requires mention of any particular marks. (PCGS# 003953)

1924-S NGC MS-64.
95 graded MS-64, 20 higher. Many retailers laud the 1926-S as key to the buffalo nickel series, but take a careful look at the low population listed by NGC for 1924-S in MS-64. Significantly fewer...

1924-S NGC XF-45.
Although the 1926-S is most often cited as the key to the Buffalo Nickel series, it is this cataloger’s opinion that the 1924-S is the true key in grades above VF. This issue suffers from all the...

1924-S XF-45+.
A stunning specimen of this highly desirable branch mint issue. Copiously toned in an intense pewter and tan blend. The strike is exceptional for the assigned grade.

1924-S AU.
This is a very well-struck 1924-S. The coin sports a full horn with a clear and distinct tip, a full eye, and 80% or more of the beard detail. When talking about a 1924-S, that is really saying...
