- 1913 Buffalo Nickel. Type II. Proof-66 (NGC). This is a beautiful premium Gem Matte Proof, lightly toned over fully struck, silky smooth, satin-textured surfaces. After only the 1915 and 1916, the 1913 Type II is the rarest Matte Proof from the early Buffalo nickel series. Most contemporary collectors who desired only a single Proof striking of the newly introduced Buffalo nickel obtained an example of the Type I design, leading David W. Lange (The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels, 2000) to conclude that many of the Type II Proofs were melted as unsold. This is a particularly fortunate survivor from a mintage of 1,514 pieces that would serve as a highlight in any advanced Buffalo nickel set. PCGS# 3990. NGC ID: 278S.
