1925-D Buffalo Nickel VF
The 1925 Buffalo nickel struck at the Denver Mint represents a classic era of United States coinage. Crafted from copper and nickel, this five cent piece showcases a distinctively American aesthetic. The obverse is dominated by the powerful profile of a Native American, accompanied by the simple inscription of the word LIBERTY and the year 1925. This design, created by James Earle Fraser, departed from traditional neoclassical allegories to capture the raw spirit of the American frontier. On the reverse, a massive bison stands upon a raised mound, a depiction that gave the series its famous nickname. The Denver origin of this particular coin is confirmed by the small D mint mark positioned on the reverse, located just below the denomination of FIVE CENTS and the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. Graded in Very Fine condition, this coin retains the essential details of its original, rugged engraving, offering a fascinating window into early twentieth-century American design.
