1916 Doubled Die Buffalo Nickel (5c)

Certified in a PCGS gold shield holder and blessed with a green CAC sticker, this AU example offers pleasing, original color - a warm sandstone gray with subtle almond highlights - and even, balanced wear. Traces of satiny luster linger in the protected areas, giving the fields a quiet glow at tilt. The famous doubled die is plainly evident without a loupe, and the devices remain bold for the grade. Surfaces are honest and undisturbed for a circulated piece, with only light circulation friction accounting for the numerical assessment. Strong eye appeal for a tough variety.
