1936-S nickels are common in all grades including gem. Original rolls may exist.

The 1936-S nickel almost always comes well struck and pleasingly lustrous. Some are satiny, but the vast majority have luster that is frosty.

This date was widely hoarded by the roll. Banks in the western states were still releasing these coins in 1938 when it was announced that the Buffalo Nickel would soon be replaced. The saving of rolls had first become popular around 1933-34, on the heels of several low mintage dates in each denomination.

Varieties: Two re-punched mintmark varieties are known. One of these (FS-1936S-501) is a naked eye variety and perhaps the most obvious such RPM in the Buffalo Nickel series.
