Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1936. Type 1. PCGS graded Proof 68 Satin PQ. CAC Approved. An essentially perfect Satin Finish example of this first striking variant from 1936. Following the Matte proof coins that were struck two decades earlier, the first 1936 proof nickels had a finish reminiscent of the earlier coins, although without the grainy surface appearance. Razor-sharp striking definition and seemingly flawless preservation are hallmarks of this Superb proof Buffalo nickel. Light rose and gold accents on the obverse nad reverse enhance the appearance of this remarkable specimen. Certainly a memorable Satin Finish nickel. Pop 34; 1 finer in 69. (PCGS # 3994) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
