1925-S Buffalo Nickel Good
The 1925 Buffalo nickel stands as a classic representative of early twentieth-century American coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this five-cent piece carries the distinctive 'S' mint mark on its reverse, indicating its West Coast origin. Even in Good condition, the coin retains the essential character of its celebrated, rugged artwork. Created by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the coin's design departs from traditional allegorical figures to celebrate the heritage of the American West. The obverse presents a detailed profile of a Native American chieftain. On the reverse, a massive American bison stands atop a raised mound, a powerful symbol of the Western plains. Legible inscriptions on this series include the national motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' and the denomination 'FIVE CENTS' beneath the bison. This coin offers a tangible look at a beloved era of United States numismatic design, capturing a rustic aesthetic that continues to fascinate observers today.
