Lot 578
1917-D Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded MS-66. A well struck spot-free gem with delicate pastel toning. Lovely iridescent colors make this an impressive offering of the year, with the Denver coinage a stand out in terms of the low number of Gem quality '66 survivors. If you were expecting the design left by the dies to be deficient in robustness, as so many do after seeing a lot of "average" 1917-D nickels, take heart. This is by all measures an exceptional coin and not the usual run-of-the-mill strike. It is, indeed, very bold. Pop 12; none better. (PCGS # 3935) .
Estimated Value $14,000 - 15,000.
