1915-S Buffalo Nickel VG
The 1915 Buffalo nickel represents a classic era of United States coinage, showcasing a distinctively American aesthetic. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this five-cent piece carries the subtle "S" mint mark on its reverse, indicating its West Coast origin. The coin is composed of a copper-nickel alloy and has survived in Very Good condition, showing honest wear from its time in circulation. On the obverse, a detailed profile of a Native American chieftain faces right, with the year 1915 clearly visible. The reverse displays a massive American bison standing atop a raised mound of earth. Above the animal, the traditional motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is inscribed, while the denomination "FIVE CENTS" rests below the mound, creating a powerful image of the American frontier.
