1925-S Buffalo Nickel AU
The 1925 Buffalo Nickel, struck at the San Francisco Mint, represents a classic era of United States coinage. This five-cent piece, composed of copper and nickel, showcases a powerful design by James Earle Fraser that departs from traditional classical allegories, opting instead for imagery deeply rooted in the American landscape. The obverse of the coin displays a detailed profile of a Native American, facing right, with the word LIBERTY clearly inscribed along the upper right edge. The year 1925 is struck on the lower left, near the base of the portrait. On the reverse, a massive bison stands on a raised mound, a distinctive feature of this particular design series. Below the mound, the denomination is rendered as FIVE CENTS, while the S mint mark is positioned just beneath this text, indicating its origin at the San Francisco Mint.
