- Handsome pearl-gray surfaces exhibit intermingled highlights of champagne-gold. The strike is typically soft for this challenging issues, most notably at the bison's head, but both the luster quality and surface preservation on their own would support a higher Mint State grade. Just under one and a half million nickels were struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1924 and immediately entered circulation, where they initially attracted little numismatic interest. By the time their scarcity became apparent, many had already served their duty in commerce. With one of the lowest mintages for the entire Buffalo series, the 1924-S nickel is among the most sought after dates in all grades. It is highly regarded as a strike rarity, as well, and finding specimens with sharp definition can be difficult. Any attractive Mint State survivor such as this is a coin worthy of serious consideration by Buffalo nickel enthusiasts.
