1914-S Buffalo Nickel (5c)

Silky, satiny luster rolls across warm antique-gold and pale olive surfaces, yielding a wonderfully original look with even, undisturbed skin. The fields are remarkably clean for the date, with only trivial ticks and no distractions, and the strike is better than most 14-S nickels - crisp braid detail and a well-defined bison horn. The color is consistent on both sides, with subtle amber at the rims that adds depth without muting the flash. Strong eye appeal throughout, housed in a PCGS gold shield holder.
