After a two-decade hiatus, 1936 sparked a renaissance for many modern proof issues and sets with the Philadelphia Mint resuming commercial proof set offerings on April 28, 1936. At first, the proofs were struck with a satin finish, but collector dissatisfaction soon forced a change to an all-brilliant, deeply-mirrored finish for the proofs. A small mintage of 4,420 proof Buffalo nickels was produced, split between the two formats. This incredible example boasts eye-catching rainbow toning at the rims, with the coloration especially vibrant on the reverse. Fully struck with satiny brilliance and outstanding eye appeal from all angles! An essential Registry coin in this grade, PCGS has graded just four finer. - Buffalo Nickel
