1928 Buffalo Nickel MS-65 NGC
The 1928 five-cent piece, commonly known as the Buffalo nickel, stands as a classic monument of American coinage. This particular specimen is certified in an exceptional Mint State 65 condition, preserving the intricate details of its original strike. Produced at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin does not bear a mint mark, representing the standard issue of its era. On the obverse, the design features a powerful profile of an American Indian, accompanied by the inscription LIBERTY and the year 1928. The reverse presents a striking depiction of a bison standing upon a raised plain. Created by the artist James Earle Fraser, these twin subjects captured the spirit of the American frontier, making this series a favorite for those who appreciate artistic depth in everyday currency.
