1913 5C Type 1 PR66 认证号34476595, PCGS号3988

Another terrific PR buffalo. This coin was well worth the wait! This is a ridiculously clean GEM. We used a strong glass and looked all over and found ZERO imperfections. The luster is above average. The matte texture and the thick rims stand out. Both sides are a GEM original nickel color. All of the details are sharply struck. The eye appeal is excellent! PCGS 136, NGC 102, CAC 47. Do NOT be fooled by the pop reports. We set our to build a customer a PCGS CAC PR66 set. It took us a year. It was just we were picky, the coins did not show up anywhere. The last auction record for a PCGS CAC piece was $5,520.00 11/24. However in 08/24 one sold for $6,000.00. The current Collectors Universe value is $6,500.00. Legend CAC verified

In 1913, the new Buffalo Nickel appeared to enthusiastic reception from the public.  The Mint made the normal strikes for circulation and Proofs for sale to collectors.  Proof Buffalo Nickels were given the matte finish that first appeared on Lincoln Cents in 1909, which was a framatic change from the brilliant Proofs of previous years.  The matte finish is definitely an acquired taste, because it is not dramatically different, at first glance, from a normal circulation strike.  However, a well-made matte Proof has crisp details, mark-free surfaces, and a sharply-squared border. 

A large percentage of the reported mintage of matte Proof 1913 Type I Nickels have been certified by PCGS (337 out of 1,520, as of February 2012).  Of these, the majority appear in the grade range between PR-64 and PR-66.  The finest examples certified by PCGS are three PR-68s.
