1919 Buffalo Nickel Fine
The 1919 five-cent piece stands as a classic example of United States coinage, showcasing a design that departs from traditional allegorical figures. Created by sculptor James Earle Fraser, this issue features a highly detailed portrait of a Native American on its obverse. The profile is accompanied by the word LIBERTY and the date 1919, capturing a distinctively American aesthetic. On the reverse side, a powerful American bison stands upon a raised mound. The animal is surrounded by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and FIVE CENTS, along with the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. This Philadelphia-minted coin, graded in Fine condition, offers a tangible look at early twentieth-century American engraving.
