1924-S Buffalo Nickel Good
The 1924 five-cent piece struck at the San Francisco Mint represents a classic era of American coinage design. Created by James Fraser, this coin departs from traditional allegorical figures to showcase imagery deeply rooted in the American West. The front of the coin features a detailed profile of a Native American, accompanied by the word LIBERTY. On the reverse side, a prominent American bison stands atop a raised mound of earth. This particular animal was modeled after Black Diamond, a famous bison who lived at the Central Park Zoo in New York. The reverse also bears the traditional motto OF PLURIBUS UNUM alongside the denomination FIVE CENTS, capturing a rugged, naturalistic aesthetic that remains celebrated by enthusiasts today.
