Lot 260
1937. NGC graded Proof 67. CAC Approved. Lovely rich golden toning. Only 5,769 struck. The nickel-bright color is especially vivid on this handsome late-period Buffalo Nickel. Earlier pieces that were struck in the 1910s, were given a sandblast finish. But by the 1930s, the mint had developed the mirror technique and began offering brilliant mirror finish Proofs to the public starting in 1936. All were carefully made and in very limited numbers compared to today’s Proof totals. In such circumstances, the luster cannot stand alone. Desirable also is to see that this coin is struck with meticulous care by the dies. Pop 322; 68 finer at NGC.
Estimated Value $2,200 - 2,300.
