1924-S Buffalo Nickel XF-45 PCGS
The 1924 Buffalo nickel struck at the San Francisco Mint represents a fascinating moment in United States coinage. With a original mintage of just 1,437,000 pieces, this issue is significantly scarcer than its Philadelphia counterparts, making surviving specimens in well-preserved condition a captivating find for enthusiasts of early twentieth-century American design. This particular coin has been certified in Extra Fine 45 (XF-45) condition, displaying a wonderful balance of honest wear and remaining detail. The obverse features the powerful profile of a Native American chieftain, accompanied by the inscription LIBERTY. The reverse showcases a majestic American bison standing on a mound, with the inscriptions OF PLURIBUS UNUM and the denomination FIVE CENTS clearly visible. Struck in a copper-nickel alloy, this coin bears the distinctive 'S' mint mark below the buffalo on the reverse, indicating its origin at the San Francisco facility. The design captures a rugged, uniquely American aesthetic that continues to intrigue those who study the nation's numismatic artistry.
