1926-S Buffalo Nickel XF
The 1926 Buffalo nickel struck at the San Francisco Mint represents a classic era of American coinage design. Crafted in copper, this five-cent piece showcases the artistry of James Earle Fraser. The obverse presents a highly detailed profile of a Native American, facing right, with the inscription of liberty and the date of production clearly visible. On the reverse, a magnificent American bison stands atop a raised mound, symbolizing the rugged spirit of the American West. The inscriptions on this side include the issuing nation, the traditional Latin motto, and the denomination. This particular coin survives in Extra Fine condition, preserving the strong textures and contours of Fraser's iconic artwork.
