1924-S Buffalo Nickel, Choice Extremely Fine, PCGS XF-45, Great Strike!
Monster strike for this date, with nice even overall detail, a full bold LIBERTY and date, with a sharp Mintmark. One of the most difficult Buffalos in my experience to find with a sharp full horn, other than the ridiculously bad 1925-D & S issues. David Lange felt this was possibly the most difficult date in the series to find in (correctly graded) VF to AU; I can't dispute that opinion. Commonly overgraded by the services in my opinion, certainly by old school standards. A few light surface issues however unquestionably original - I think worth a premium for the strike. Individual coin images by PCGS; I may add some more of my own later. Due to value this may require Registered Mail shipping, which is slower delivery time - if this is a concern, please ask if it applies in your case.
