The highly popular Buffalo nickel series, issued from 1913 through 1938, began with the Type One design that had the bison standing on a mound. The imperfect reverse design was soon modified, with the bison standing on flat ground. This impressive specimen is tied with one other PCGS-certified example, and those two coins are likely tied for finest known. This highly lustrous example, displaying pristine surfaces and light gold toning, is a candidate for one of the finest registry sets.

The 1953 British expedition to Mount Everest was the eighth in 30 years to attempt to summit Everest. When Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay reached the summit on May 29 of that year, it was a culminating moment in mountaineering history and one of the great achievements of human stamina and will.
