1913-S Buffalo Nickel Type-I MS-65 PCGS
The 1913-S Buffalo Nickel Type I represents the very beginning of one of America's most iconic coin series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the inaugural year of the design, this particular coin is distinguished by its 'S' mint mark. The Type I designation indicates the original variety of the coin, where the bison on the reverse stands proudly atop a raised mound of dirt, a feature that was modified later in the same year. With a total mintage of 2,105,000, finding an example preserved in such exceptional condition is a notable discovery. This specimen has been officially graded as Mint State 65 (MS-65) and is securely encapsulated to protect its outstanding state of preservation. The obverse features a detailed profile with the inscription 'LIBERTY', while the reverse displays a majestic bison above the denomination 'FIVE CENTS'.
