1914-S Buffalo Nickel VG
The 1914 Buffalo nickel represents an iconic era in United States coinage. Created by the artist James Earle Fraser, this five-cent piece departs from traditional classical allegories to showcase imagery deeply rooted in the American landscape. The obverse presents a powerful, detailed profile of an American Indian, while the reverse displays a majestic bison standing atop a raised mound. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin bears the "S" mint mark beneath the mound on the reverse. The design also incorporates the national motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the country of origin, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", alongside the face value of "FIVE CENTS". This particular coin survives in Very Good condition, offering a tangible look at a classic piece of early twentieth-century currency.
