1923 Buffalo Nickel XF
The 1923 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, the coin features a powerful portrait of a Native American on the obverse. This profile is accompanied by the word LIBERTY and the year 1923, cleanly integrated into the right-hand curve of the design. On the reverse, a magnificent American bison stands atop a raised mound of earth. The inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM are positioned above the animal, while the denomination FIVE CENTS is placed clearly at the bottom. Struck in Philadelphia, this particular coin is preserved in Extra Fine condition, allowing observers to appreciate the fine details of the native portrait and the textured coat of the bison.
