1926-S Buffalo Nickel VG
The 1926 Buffalo Nickel struck at the San Francisco Mint is a compelling representative of early twentieth-century American coinage. This particular specimen survives in a circulated, Very Good state, showing the honest wear of a coin that once passed through daily commerce during the pre-1933 era. Created by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the coin features a powerful profile of a Native American on the obverse. The reverse displays a majestic American bison positioned on a raised mound. Legible inscriptions on this copper-nickel piece include the national motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" alongside "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the denomination "FIVE CENTS", with the distinctive "S" mint mark of the San Francisco facility visible below the mound.
