CAC SEMI-KEY DATE The 1914-D Buffalo nickel is among the scarcest mint marked issues in the series, with only 3,912,000 struck and just about 8,000 known examples across the grading spectrum. This semi-key coin is sought after in all grades, with even circulated examples proving scarce.

Expert Comments

David Hall

The 1914-D is quite rare in circulated grades and is one of the semi-keys dates in the Buffalo nickel series. There were appparently some examples saved in mint state condition as though scarce, choice and gem specimens can be obtained. In gem MS65 or better condition, the 1914-D is about equal in rarity to the 1913-D Type 2 and 1915-D. Strike is usually ok on this issue, as it is on the other early D-mints. Luster is the usual early Buffalo nickel satin look and can be either a little subdued (dull) or somewhat bright.
