1918-S Buffalo Nickel VF
The 1918 five-cent piece stands as a classic representative of American coinage, showcasing a design created by James Earle Fraser. This particular specimen, preserved in Very Fine condition, hails from the San Francisco Mint, as indicated by the small S mint mark located on the reverse side. On the obverse, a dignified profile of an American Indian faces right, capturing a powerful sense of character and detail. The reverse is dominated by the image of a massive bison standing atop a raised mound of earth. This design departs from traditional heraldic themes to celebrate the natural and cultural heritage of the American West, making it a highly recognizable and compelling piece of history to study.
