1928-D Buffalo Nickel MS-64 NGC

---

The 1928 Buffalo nickel represents a classic era of American coinage, showcasing a rugged design that stands out in numismatic history. This particular five-cent piece was struck at the Denver Mint, as indicated by the D mint mark. Out of a total mintage of 6,436,000 for this specific year and mint combination, finding an example that has survived in such an exceptional state of preservation is a treat for any coin enthusiast. On the obverse, the profile of a Native American chieftain faces right, accompanied by the word LIBERTY and the year 1928. The reverse features the iconic American bison standing on a mound, with the inscriptions FIVE CENTS and the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. This specimen has been officially graded as Mint State 64 (MS-64), indicating that it retains much of its original luster and sharp design details just as it left the Denver facility nearly a century ago.
