The 1938-D Buffalo nickel is the last of the regular-issue coins in this series, which was replaced later in 1938 by the still-running Jefferson nickel series. While this issue is actually one of the lower-mintage 1930s issues, with only 7,020,000 minted, it is by far the most common in uncirculated grades. Many were saved in roll quantities due to collectors knowing this would be the last Buffalo nickel minted. An impressive 100,000 or so examples exist in uncirculated grades, with approximately 80,000 in MS65 grades. Several dozen are certified in grades as high as MS68, and it is not difficult to pick out some tremendously beautiful examples of this last-year issue.
