1916-D Buffalo Nickel VF
The 1916 Buffalo nickel, struck at the Denver Mint, stands as a classic representative of early twentieth-century American coinage. This five-cent piece, graded in Very Fine condition, showcases a distinct design that departed from traditional classical allegories, opting instead for subjects native to the North American continent. On the obverse, a detailed profile of a Native American faces right, accompanied by the word LIBERTY and the year of manufacture, 1916. The reverse displays a magnificent American bison standing on a mound, with the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FIVE CENTS, and the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. Designed by James Earle Fraser, this coin remains a celebrated example of United States numismatic art.
