1915-S Buffalo Nickel AU-55 NGC
The 1915-S Buffalo Nickel stands as a classic representative of early twentieth-century American coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this five-cent piece carries the distinctive 'S' mint mark on its reverse side. The coin is certified in About Uncirculated 55 (AU-55) condition, preserving the intricate details of its celebrated design. On the obverse, the coin displays a powerful, realistic portrait of a Native American in profile, facing right, alongside the year of issue. The reverse features a majestic American bison standing atop a raised mound of earth. This design, created by James Fraser, departed from traditional neoclassical allegories to capture a distinctly North American aesthetic. The inscriptions on the coin include the national motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' and the denomination 'FIVE CENTS' beneath the bison, representing a total mintage of 1,505,000 pieces for this specific issue.
