1936-S 5C

Description

1936-S Buffalo Five Cents, PCGS MS67. This 1936-S Buffalo nickel represents a scarce example of this San Francisco Mint issue in premium gem condition. Designed by the renowned James Earle Fraser, the Buffalo nickel series remains one of America's most iconic coinage designs. While the 1936-S is common in circulated grades, quality examples in gem mint state are notably elusive, making this PCGS MS67 specimen a desirable acquisition for serious Buffalo nickel collectors. The coin exhibits the characteristic sharp strike quality typically associated with San Francisco Mint production during this period, with the design elements displaying excellent definition. The surfaces showcase the grey brilliant luster that is standard for this issue, presenting an attractive and original appearance. With a mintage of 14,930,000 pieces, the 1936-S saw substantial production, yet survivors in gem condition remain scarce relative to demand. This example's PCGS MS67 grade places it in the upper tier of the population, with only 32 coins graded higher out of 148 total PCGS submissions of this date and mint. The certification number 49470781 provides full authentication and pedigree documentation. An excellent opportunity to acquire a premium example of a key-date Buffalo nickel in its classic design period.
