1915-S Buffalo Nickel, Key Date, PCGS/CAC AU-55, Very Tough
A nice upper end circulated example of this Key Date. One of my favorite early dates and a nice coin. 100 at PCGS, 51 NGC versus 13 CAC at time of listing. None in the new CACG holder at the grade; per CAC's policy, this is guaranteed to cross to the new holder if re-submitted. Better struck than many, with LIBERTY distinct and well separated from the rim, a common weakness of this date. Just a touch weak on the Bison's head perhaps, however a full tail with a split tip and separated hip bones. Original lightly toned surfaces, just a touch of streaky color variation due to minor differences in alloy composition in those areas. Individual coin images from the PCGS Cert verification; I may add some more of my own later.
