- With an above average strike and expertly preserved surfaces, this lovely Gem would be readily accepted into the finest of Buffalo nickel cabinets. Both sides are largely brilliant apart from delicate champagne-pink iridescence. The detail is otherwise sharp and comes up just a bit short at the bison's head, shoulder, and in the opposing areas on the obverse. Highly lustrous with an intense frosty finish, this smooth and inviting coin is sure to please even the most discerning Buffalo nickel enthusiast.<p>As with so many mintmarked Buffalo nickel issues from the 1910s and 1920s, the 1920-D is typically encountered either well worn or in lower Mint State grades. Among the Mint State survivors, poor striking quality and inferior luster are the rule, thereby explaining the scarcity of premium quality Gems such as that offered here. Indeed, this is one of the best produced and most attractive survivors ever to have appeared in one of our sales.
