Sharp and Virtually Pristine 1935-S Nickel Beautifully Toned PCGS/CAC MS-67+ 1935-S Buffalo Nickel. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. A captivating example of both the type and issue that will please even the most discerning collector. Dressed in iridescent toning of champagne-gold and powder blue, both sides are further enhanced by intense frosty mint luster. Sharply, if not fully struck throughout with near-pristine surfaces that are a delight to behold. Produced toward the end of the Buffalo nickel series with a relatively generous mintage of 10,300,000 coins, the 1935-S was well positioned for a high rate of survival in Mint State. Such examples are certainly plentiful in today's market, but we caution bidders that the specter of soft striking detail typical of many earlier dated San Francisco Mint issues in this series also haunts the 1935-S. As such, cherrypicking is advised if one is on the hunt for a sharply struck MS-65. Coins grading MS-66 and, especially, MS-66+ will be more challenging to locate in general as most uncirculated survivors cannot support these grades due to poor striking detail. As an upper end Superb Gem this a true wonder coin in a 1935-S Buffalo nickel -- a surprise condition rarity for an otherwise readily obtainable issue that represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the astute collector.
