1923-S Buffalo Nickel AU-58 NGC
The 1923 Buffalo nickel, struck at the San Francisco Mint, stands as a classic representative of early twentieth-century American coinage. This five-cent piece is celebrated for its distinctly American themes, departing from traditional European-style allegorical figures to showcase imagery native to the American West. James Fraser designed this iconic coin, capturing a rugged realism that continues to captivate observers. The obverse presents a profile of a Native American facing right, with the word LIBERTY and the date 1923 clearly visible. On the reverse, a massive American bison stands on a flat plain, a powerful symbol of the frontier. The inscriptions include the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM and the denomination FIVE CENTS. This particular specimen is graded About Uncirculated 58, preserving the fine details of the original design.
