1935 Buffalo Nickel (5c)

The 1935 Buffalo Nickel represents one of the penultimate years of this iconic American series, produced during the heart of the Great Depression. While not particularly rare with over 58 million struck at the Philadelphia mint, superb gem examples like this have become increasingly difficult to locate as many were subjected to harsh circulation during economically challenging times.

This MS68 specimen certified by PCGS stands among the finest known examples of its date. The coin displays exceptional strike quality with full horn detail and complete feather definition. Its surfaces radiate with satiny, original luster that transitions between silvery brilliance and subtle golden-amber toning at the peripheries. What truly sets this coin apart is its remarkable preservation - virtually free from contact marks and exhibiting eye appeal that far exceeds most survivors from this era. The pristine surfaces and bold strike combine to create a truly exceptional example of this Depression-era issue.
