3103: 1930 5C MS67+ PCGS. CAC. This is one of the fines

1930 5C MS67+ PCGS. CAC. This is one of the finest-known 1930 Buffalo nickels. Examples of this issue are rare in MS67, and PCGS has awarded a Plus designation to only six pieces. This coin is also CAC endorsed, a distinction that it shares with only 11 other Superb Gems (6/20). We have only handled an MS67+ coin on two prior occasions. This example is frosty and brilliant, showing virtually flawless original luster. The coin is struck from fresh dies, with no evidence of die erosion in the fields on either side. The usual central strike weakness is present, mainly on the hair above the Indian's braid and on the bison's shoulder. The bison's horn is sharp. An important Registry Set opportunity. Population: 48 in 67 (6 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 12 in 67, 0 finer (6/20). HID03101062020 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
