This issue is common in all grades, though slightly less so than 1926(P).
Well struck coins are the norm for this issue, though no Buffalo Nickel coined 1918 or later will have the sharpness of well struck coins from earlier years. The master hubs for this type gradually became worn, a process accelerated by the high mintages of 1916-20.
1927(P) nickels typically have very good to excellent luster. Satiny pieces are occasionally seen, but the vast majority display the frosty brilliance that characterizes most issues from the 1920s and ‘30s.
Varieties: A doubled-die obverse is reported by Leroy and Marilyn Van Allen.
