Lot 1943
1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded VF-20. Popular key date. Light original toning with the deepest recesses the most toned. A sharp, clear strike insures full and immediate demarcation of the key features, with the 8 clearly imprinted over an earlier 7. This was done in the hubbing step while the die was being made. A rare occurrence on a 20th century issue (PCGS # 3939) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,400.

Lot 1945
1919-S Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded MS-64. Lovely golden toning. A very choice example of the elusive '19-S with excellent luster and surfaces that are free from even the most trivial luster grazes. Regarding this date, the clearest details are found mainly in the central head on the Indian and buffalo's shoulder area, while the peripheries are somewhat weaker. Pop 168; 32 finer; 30 in 65; 2 in 66. (PCGS # 3943) .
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,200.

Lot 1947
1923-S Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded MS-64. Evenly toned on both sides. Better defined on the reverse than the obverse, right down to the shoulder hump of the bison, with lustrous surfaces. A unconvincing impression is often the case on branch mint Buffalo nickels of the 'twenties, as the mint tended to overwork the dies before replacing them. 1923-S is one of the scarcer dates in the series. Pop 338; 30 in 65; 2 in 66. (PCGS # 3950) .
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500.

1937-D Buffalo Nickel. 3 legs. PCGS graded MS-63. Nice origianl toning on both sides. Nice for the grade, it is often a challenge to locate even a base-level Uncirculated 3-leg Buffalo nickel since these mostly reach circulation before the variety was discovered and publicized by numismatists (PCGS # 3982) .
