Buffalo nickel: A very nice find!

As David Lange notes, the 1914-S is a peculiar date. Coins with great strikes tend to have poor luster and indifferent surfaces, while those with proof-like surfaces tend to be poorly struck. It is difficult to find examples that offer a happy blend of the two. I stumbled upon this coin after keeping my eye out for quite a while; those who search for these know it can be a bit frustrating. So it's very difficult to do a lot better than this. My 1914-S is unquestionably well struck, and the luster is pretty darned good. Nice toning, too. It's in an ANACS holder.
