1914-D Buffalo Nickel VG
The 1914 Buffalo nickel stands as a classic representative of early twentieth-century American coinage. Struck at the Denver Mint, this five-cent piece carries the distinctive "D" mint mark on its reverse. The coin's surfaces have circulated over the decades, now showing the honest wear of a Very Good grade, which softens the details while preserving the essential character of its powerful imagery. On the obverse, the profile of an American Indian faces right, capturing a dignified and realistic portrait. The reverse displays a massive American bison standing atop a raised mound of earth. This design, created by sculptor James Earle Fraser, departed from traditional neoclassical allegories in favor of themes deeply rooted in the American West. Legible inscriptions on the reverse include the national motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" alongside "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the denomination "FIVE CENTS". Minted in a base metal alloy, this 1914-D issue remains a compelling artifact from the pre-1933 era of United States currency.
