About This Coin
James Earle Fraser's Buffalo nickel stands as a monument to American numismatic art, capturing the rugged spirit of the frontier. Issued from 1913 through 1938, the series concluded with the Denver Mint's striking in its final year, marking the end of one of the most beloved designs in United States coinage history.
Because the 1938-D was the final entry in the series, many pieces were set aside at the time of release, allowing a select number to survive in remarkable condition. At the Mint State 66 level, a collector receives a coin that represents the design exactly as Fraser intended, free from the wear that typically plagued this high-relief series in commerce.
This specimen has been graded by NGC and carries the green CAC sticker, confirming its exceptional quality for the grade. It is a quintessential type coin, offering an understated and confident addition to any cabinet focusing on twentieth-century American classics.
