1923-S Buffalo Nickel Good
The 1923 Buffalo nickel, struck at the San Francisco Mint, represents a classic era of United States coinage. This five cent piece, preserved in Good condition, showcases a distinctively American aesthetic. The obverse displays a detailed profile of a Native American, accompanied by the word LIBERTY and the clear date of 1923. This portrait captures a sense of dignity and strength that defined the early twentieth century design philosophy. On the reverse, a massive American bison stands on a raised mound, a powerful symbol of the American West. The inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM arch over the animal, while the denomination FIVE CENTS is positioned at the bottom. Just below the mound, the small S mint mark indicates its origin from the West Coast minting facility. Designed by James Earle Fraser, this coin remains a fascinating study in American artistry and numismatic history.
