The 1915-S is a low mintage issue that is quite scarce in circulated grades and one of the most expensive Buffalo nickels in low grade. Uncirculated specimens are not quite as rare relative to the other Branch Mint nickels of this era. In other words, the 1915-S is rarer than its contemporaries in circulated condition but about equal to them in uncirculated and even Gem condition. Strike is only occasionally a problem as this is one of the better struck S Mint Buffalos. Luster can be either subdued or somewhat frosty.
The coin really looks good in my coin album, I only like a few more to be complete I've been working on it foe many years.

Some cannot be cleaned. Others in this condition may be cleanable but you will need luck and extreme skill and technique. I have tried almost everything but, the dark substance will come off leaving a dark background which is permanent. The solution is to re silver it. You could try the liquid silver but be patient with it. This can be a dramatic improvement. For those who think you should never clean coins, I think they are wrong.

The coin has very fine details such as the 'Date', 'LIBERTY', and 'Mint'. For the price, it was an excellent buy and looks good in my nickel coin collection. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Very very weak date however, absolutely no deception. Find me a stronger date, and I'll pay more. Respond with a picture of a little better one and I will ok it. Thank you so much. I will be buying MANY more Coins AND paper money. Send me a catalog of Large Bills, Jesse
