***Auction Highlight*** 1917-s Buffalo Nickel 5c Graded GEM+ Unc BY uSCG. Up for Auction id a superb, 1917-s, A full strike sets this coin apart from the vast majority of survivors of this 4,193,000-piece issue. This impressive strike and condition rarity is sure to catch the eye of astute Buffalo nickel enthusiasts. According to David W. Lange (2006), "a relatively small number of [1917-S] coins may be found that are extremely well struck." He explains that such examples were from dies that "were simply unworn and closely set within the press, the ideal situation for any coining operation but one that was seldom maintained with respect to Buffalo nickels." This Premium Gem features sharp definition on the Indian's hair braid and the bison's head and tail. Each side offers gorgeous, flashy luster.. A few small clash marks and die cracks appear throughout. This example is among the Finest Known. Tied for 6th Finest.
