1931-S
.
PCGS graded MS-66+ PQ.

Soft
rainbow-like toning decorates the periphery of the obverse,

1931-S
.
PCGS graded MS-66 PQ.
CAC APPROVED.
The
satiny smooth, boldly lustrous surfaces are toned in soft golden-
red with tinges of lavender that appear when the coin rotated is
rotated under a light. Even with close examination, one fails to
find any notable marks on either side. This is a perfect coin for a
Gem quality Buffalo nickel set.
Pop 466; 14 finer, 10 in 66+,

PCGS graded MS-66 PQ.
CAC APPROVED.
Shimmering, satiny surfaces are lightly tinted in beautiful
reddish-golden, lilac, and pale blue iridescence. Overall
sharply struck with only the most minor incompleteness at
selected central highpoints. A conditionally challenging
issue from the later Buffalo nickel series.

1936. Type 1
.
PCGS graded Proof 68 Satin PQ.
CAC
APPROVED.
An essentially perfect Satin Finish example of
this first striking variant from 1936. Following the Matte
proof coins that were struck two decades earlier, the first
1936 proof nickels had a finish reminiscent of the earlier
coins, although without the grainy surface appearance.
Razor-sharp striking definition and seemingly flawless pres-
ervation are hallmarks of this Superb proof Buffalo nickel.
Light rose and gold accents on the obverse nad reverse
enhance the appearance of this remarkable specimen. Cer-
tainly a memorable Satin Finish nickel.
Pop 34; 1 finer in

1936. Satin
.
NGC graded Proof 68
. In 1936, Proof Buf-
falo nickels were first produced with a satin finish, this
being later revised to a brilliant finish due, in part, to com-
plaints from the collecting public. While the former variety
probably had a slightly higher original delivery, fewer exam-
ples were preserved over the years for the benefit of
today's collectors. The 1936 Type I (Satin Finish) is particu-
larly rare in the finest grades, and the present Superb Gem
is simply a breathtaking coin to behold. Razor-sharp striking
definition and seemingly flawless preservation are hall-
marks of this Superb Proof Buffalo nickel. Light champagne
and gold colors overlay both sides and further enhance the
appearance of this memorable specimen.
Pop 26; 2 finer
in 68 Star.
Estimated Value ........................................ $5,000 - 5,500
