1916-D Buffalo Nickel AG
The 1916 Buffalo nickel, struck at the Denver Mint, stands as a classic representative of early twentieth-century American coinage. This particular piece, preserved in Almost Good condition, carries the honest wear of a coin that circulated widely through daily commerce during a transformative era in United States history. On the obverse, the coin displays the powerful right-facing profile of a Native American, a composite portrait created by sculptor James Earle Fraser. The reverse features a majestic American bison standing on a mound, symbolizing the rugged frontier of the American West. The Denver origin is marked by the letter D positioned on the reverse, just below the denomination of five cents.
