This issue is common in all grades. It is also the most available S-Mint Buffalo Nickel in gem condition. Original rolls likely exist.

Well struck coins are abundant, and some of them are extremely sharp. Nearly all 1937-S nickels have very good to outstanding luster, and this ranges all the way from semi-proof like to satiny, to frosty.

This was the last coinage of Buffalo Nickels at the San Francisco Mint, and examples were widely hoarded as such. The fact that these coins were still being released a year or two later enabled speculators to put away countless rolls.

Varieties:

  • Four re-punched mintmark varieties are included in Wexler/Miller.
  • A retained cud die break is known for the reverse and affects the word CENTS. A completed break of this same die may also exist.
