1921-S. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ. CAC Approved. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Lovely rich golden toning on both sides. Among the Finest Known. All of this issue's mintage was coined during the latter half of the year. It is doubtful that any of these coins were needed at the time, and they were probably not released until the coining of nickels resumed late in 1923. The production of nickels would be suspended in 1922 at this Western mint, only to be resumed in the latter months of 1923. The post-World War I recession that seemed to come on in 1919 but then ebbed, gripped the nation anew in 1921 and slowed the demand for coinage. Fewer than 1.6 million 1921-S Nickels were coined for this issue. This appealing high-grade specimen secretly tiptoes around most of the problems often associated with this often weak and dull issue. The luster is strong. Like on most pieces in the Forsythe group, it has eye-appeal. Oceans of eye-appeal. The toning that covers the piece appears in varying strips, as opposed to the sometimes-uneven splotches that appear on other examples. The strike average to better than average and is far superior to the usual weak coins, in spite of a touch of softness on the bison's head and shoulder, and the duly well preserved surfaces have scarcely any marks. Pop 8; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 3948) Estimated Value $13,000 - 15,000 The Gerald Forsythe Duplicate Buffalo Nickel Collection. Categories: Buffalo Nickels
