1930-S Buffalo Nickel VF
The 1930 five-cent piece from the San Francisco Mint offers a striking look at classic American coinage design. Rendered in a Very Fine state of preservation, this coin showcases the artistry of James Earle Fraser. The obverse presents a powerful profile of a Native American chieftain, accompanied by the clear inscription of the word LIBERTY and the date of production, 1930. Turning the coin over reveals a magnificent American bison standing atop a raised mound on the reverse. This side displays the traditional national mottoes, including E PLURIBUS UNUM, along with the denomination FIVE CENTS and the issuing country, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Positioned on the reverse is also the distinctive S mint mark, indicating its origin at the San Francisco facility during the pre-1933 era of United States currency.
