详细说明

A visually impressive example of this issue that will appeal to today's discerning Buffalo nickel enthusiasts. Presenting a soft silver-olive glow at most viewing angles, direct lighting calls forth hints of livelier powder blue and golden iridescence. The strike is full over even the most intricate design elements, and the surfaces are pristine apart from a few tiny, faint carbon spots that require magnification to discern and in no way inhibit the eye appeal. The 1936 is the first Proof Buffalo nickel produced since 1916. Rarer than the only other Proof Buffalo nickel of its era - the 1937 - the 1936 has a mintage of 4,420 pieces. Nearly two-thirds of the coins struck were made with a satin finish, as here, though the number of Brilliant and Satin Proofs known for the date are about equal in today's numismatic marketplace. Both variants are noteworthy scarce at the certified Proof-67 level, which fact confirms the significance of the present offering for the quality conscious collector.
