1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel. FS-101. MS-65+ (PCGS).

Landmark Gem Uncirculated 1918/7-D Nickel One of the Finest Known to PCGS 1918/7-D Buffalo Nickel. FS-101. MS-65+ (PCGS). Here is an amazing condition rarity that ranks among the very finest certified for the elusive 1918/7-D Buffalo nickel overdate. Gorgeous target toning in golden-apricot, powder blue and salmon-pink moves from the rims to the centers. Highly lustrous, both sides are frosty and the strike is sharp to full, exceptional for the variety. This is an outstanding example! This overdate was a result of the United States' insatiable demand for circulating minor coins during the final two years of World War I. There was a nationwide shortage of cents and nickels in 1917 and 1918 that resulted in large output of these denominations. During the final quarter of 1917 the engraving department at the Philadelphia Mint was busy producing dies for both 1917- and 1918-dated coinage. One of the obverse dies for the Buffalo nickel received its first impression from a 1917-dated hub, but the second impression came from a 1918-dated hub. This die was then shipped west for use in the Denver Mint, where it produced an unknown, yet presumably small number of 1918/7-D nickels. With the vast majority of examples grading no finer than MS-64, this premium quality upper end Gem would serve as a highlight in even the finest Buffalo nickel set or variety collection.
