The 1928-D Buffalo nickel is a somewhat scarce coin across the board, though in lower circulated grades it’s one of the least challenging of the mintmarked dates from the 1920s. Belying the coin’s relatively scant mintage of 6,436,000, survival and pop figures for uncirculated specimens suggest that some number of rolls must have been saved for the 1928-D as it is actually one of the most common Type 2 Buffalo nickels from the period spanning from 1913 through 1930. Still, the coin is tough in Gem grades and in MS66 and higher is rare.
