1926-S Buffalo Nickel Good
The 1926 Buffalo nickel struck at the San Francisco Mint represents a classic era of American coinage. This five-cent piece carries a design crafted by James Earle Fraser, showcasing a powerful portrait of a Native American on the obverse side. The coin's surface bears the marks of its long journey through commerce, yet the strength of the original artistry remains visible. On the reverse, a magnificent American bison stands atop a raised mound of earth. This design captures a rugged, naturalistic spirit unique to the coinage of the early twentieth century. The San Francisco mint mark, a small 'S', is located below the mound, identifying its origin at the Western minting facility.
