1913-S Buffalo Nickel Type-II MS-62 NGC
The year 1913 marked a significant transition for United States five-cent coinage, resulting in the creation of the Type II Buffalo Nickel. This particular variety features a modified reverse design where the American bison stands on a flat line rather than a raised mound, a change implemented to protect the denomination text from premature wear. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin bears the 'S' mint mark below the denomination on the reverse. On the obverse, the profile of an American Indian faces right, capturing a powerful and detailed portrait. The reverse showcases the majestic bison, accompanied by the traditional motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' and the face value of 'FIVE CENTS'. This specific specimen is certified in Mint State 62 (MS-62) condition, preserving the intricate details of the design from a total mintage of 1,209,000 pieces.
