The Buffalo design was retired in 1938, after the Denver Mint struck an adequate mintage of a little more than 7 million pieces. The coin was heavily saved at the time of issue, making it readily collectible in high grade and a favorite choice with type collectors. This spectacular Premium Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements throughout and the impeccably preserved surfaces radiate vibrant mint luster, with outstanding eye appeal. In the Original Bag Series slab with a fragment of a canvas bag.
