1916 Buffalo Nickel XF
The 1916 Buffalo Nickel stands as a classic representative of early twentieth-century American coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this five-cent piece captures a distinctively American aesthetic, moving away from traditional neoclassical allegories to celebrate the rugged heritage of the continent. On the obverse, a powerful profile of a Native American faces right, accompanied by the inscription LIBERTY and the clear date of 1916. The reverse displays a massive American bison standing on a mound, with the inscriptions E PLURIBUS UNUM and FIVE CENTS. Designed by James Earle Fraser, this circulated coin is graded in Extra Fine condition, preserving the bold details of both portraits for modern observers to appreciate.
