1926-S 5 Cents. NGC Uncirculated Details, Improperly Cleaned. One of the most sought-after dates in the Buffalo nickel series with examples that exhibit full Uncirculated detail remaining in constant demand. The present specimen, a certain qualifier at that level is impeccably struck for the date with gleaming luster in the fields. Vivid golden toning with well-blended purple patina enhances the appeal. While not immediately apparent, light hairlining in the right obverse field becomes apparent with the aid of magnification. A magnificent specimen for the set builder that can´t afford to add what would be a solid five-figure item with visually comparable, but problem-free surfaces.

$1,500 to $2,000
