1926-S Buffalo Nickel VF-20 NGC
The 1926 Buffalo Nickel struck at the San Francisco Mint represents a highly sought-after issue in this celebrated United States series. With a remarkably low mintage of just 970,000 pieces, this particular coin has survived the decades to be certified in Very Fine 20 condition, displaying the honest wear of a circulated piece of American currency. Created by sculptor James Fraser, the coin features two iconic symbols of the American West. The obverse presents a powerful profile of a Native American, while the reverse depicts a massive American bison standing atop a raised mound. Visible on the reverse is the "S" mint mark, indicating its origin at the San Francisco facility, alongside the denomination of five cents and the traditional motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM".
