1936 NGC Proof Details/environmental damage. 1936 NGC Proof Details/environmental damage.
Lot Title: 1936 NGC Proof Details/environmental damage.
Description: Lovely from the important obverse side, close inspection here will find nothing more than numerous dark toning spots to account for the "environmental damage" disclaimer. Were it not for a single corroded area right at the top of the bison's head, this nickel would undoubtedly be destined for a strong dip and resubmission. Desirable in spite of the noted problems. (PCGS# 003995)
Low Estimate: $600.00

1936 PCGS PF-66 Brilliant.

1936 ICG PF-67.
Inability to easily distinguish proof strikings from high quality business strike production is what led to the demise of the "satin proof" format for the buffalo nickel seventy years ago, and this...
