Description
# 1915-D Buffalo Nickel PCGS MS66 - A Gem of Early Denver Mint Production. An exceptional Buffalo Nickel from the Denver Mint, this 1915-D five-cent piece represents a true numismatic treasure for the discerning collector. Graded a remarkable *PCGS MS66*, this coin stands as a superior example of early 20th-century American coinage, showcasing the artistry of designer James Earle Fraser's iconic Native American motif. With a total population of just 41 coins graded, and only 17 examples at this grade level or higher, this 1915-D Buffalo Nickel is a remarkable rarity. The coin exhibits exceptional strike quality typical of the Denver Mint, with lustrous surfaces that range from satiny to frosty. The low mintage of 7,569,000 pieces contributes to its collectibility, making it significantly scarcer in uncirculated condition compared to its contemporaries. Struck in the classic 75% copper, 25% nickel composition, this specimen maintains extraordinary preservation. The technical details are impeccable: a precise 21.2mm diameter and standard 5g weight characteristic of the Buffalo Nickel series. Its PCGS certification #13387689 guarantees its authenticity and condition, making it a prized addition to any serious numismatic collection focusing on early 20th-century American coinage. Condition Report: *PCGS MS66* - Exceptional gem-quality example with minimal marks, full mint luster, and sharp design details. A premium representative of the scarce 1915-D Buffalo Nickel issue, particularly noteworthy for its superior preservation and rarity.
