1928 Buffalo Nickel VF
The 1928 Buffalo Nickel stands as a classic representation of early twentieth century American coinage. Minted in Philadelphia, this five cent piece carries no mint mark, a traditional feature of coins produced at the main facility. This particular specimen survives in Very Fine condition, showing the clear details of its celebrated, rugged artwork after decades of circulation. Created by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the coin features two powerful subjects. The obverse presents a realistic profile of a Native American, accompanied by the inscription LIBERTY and the date 1928. On the reverse, a massive American bison stands on a raised mound, with the national motto E PLURIBUS UNUM and the denomination FIVE CENTS clearly visible.
