CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

From Heritage Auction Description: 1913-D 5C Type One MS67 PCGS. CAC. This high-quality Superb Gem exhibits fully brilliant mint luster with bold design features and tinges of ice-blue and gold toning. Both the Denver mintmark and the bison's head are sharp -- key for the issue, since they are often softly struck -- and the satin-smooth surfaces are pristine throughout. Here is an exceptional example that will provide a nice boost to any high-grade Buffalo nickel collection. Population: 66 in 67 (3 in 67+), 2 finer (10/15). From The Leon Hendrickson Collection.(Registry values: N2998) (NGC ID# 22PX, PCGS# 3916)

Expert Comments

David Hall

The 1913-D Type I Buffalo is much rarer than the 1913 Philadelphia. It's about 5 to 10 times rarer in mint state and probably 20 times rare in circulated grades. Still, the 1913-D Type is one of the more available early date Buffalos. This is generally a well struck issue. Luster typically ranges from dull to bright satiny.
