1925-S. PCGS graded MS-65. Lovely light even toning. A gorgeous example. This high-end Gem shows an exactness of strike and high quality to which most 1925-S Nickels can only aspire. The overall definition is nearly as close to full as one could realistically expect in an example of this S-mint strike rarity. Even the bison's head and shoulder on the reverse are show much (if not complete) detail.
Moving on to the surface preservation, we find that both sides have retained their full endowment of satiny mint luster. They have acquired a thin veil of color, but remain virtually free of grade-limiting blemishes. A beautiful Gem S-mint coin in all regards, and one that is tied for Condition Census #1 among survivors of this very challenging S-mint Buffalo Nickel delivery.
Pop 27; 1 finer in 66 (PCGS # 3956) .
Estimated Value $18,000 - 19,000.
