1925-D. PCGS graded MS-65 PQ. CAC Approved. Housed in a First Generation Holder. Lovely rose and golden toning. A prominent strike and condition rarity in the Buffalo Nickel series, the 1925-D is just as taxing to locate in the finest Mint State grades as the 1919-D, 1919-S, 1920-S, 1925-S and 1926-D. One can imagine our delight, therefore, at being able to present this beautiful Forsythe Collection Gem to the advanced Buffalo Nickel collectors among our bidders. A coin that impresses one and all because both sides have above average devices for the issue with overall bold definition on the buffalo and only modest weakness on the Indian. Trivial lack of highpoint detail on the obverse could point to it having been kept in the coining press beyond its normal production cycle. The toning is sublime as well, with the surfaces fully lustrous, satiny in sheen and silent on the subject of grade-limiting blemishes or spotting. We could detail a whole list of positive attributes that this coin has. A '25-D Nickel high in the Condition Census! Pop 87; 8 finer in 66 (PCGS # 3955) Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,200
