1918-D Buffalo Nickel VF
The 1918 five-cent piece struck at the Denver Mint captures a rugged, distinctly American aesthetic. Designed by the celebrated sculptor James Earle Fraser, this coin departs from traditional neoclassical imagery to showcase two icons of the American frontier. On the obverse, a powerful profile of a Native American face looks to the right, accompanied by the inscription LIBERTY and the date of manufacture. Turning the coin over reveals a grand American bison standing on a raised mound. The reverse design includes the traditional mottoes and country name, with the words FIVE CENTS and the letter D representing its Denver origin. Struck in copper, this particular specimen survives in Very Fine condition, showing the honest wear of a coin that circulated during a transformative era in American history.
