1915-S Buffalo Nickel AG
The 1915 Buffalo nickel represents a classic era of United States coinage, showcasing a design that departs from traditional European allegorical figures. Created by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the coin features a powerful portrait of a Native American on the obverse, capturing a realistic and dignified representation of the continent's original inhabitants. On the reverse, a massive American bison stands upon a raised mound. This particular five-cent piece bears the distinct "S" mint mark, indicating it was struck at the historic San Francisco Mint during its third year of production. Even in an Almost Good state of preservation, the essential elements of this iconic design remain recognizable, offering a tangible connection to early twentieth-century artistry.
