1934 Buffalo Nickel MS-65 PCGS
The 1934 five-cent piece stands as a classic representative of twentieth-century American coinage, capturing the rugged spirit of the frontier. Designed by James Fraser, this coin features a powerful composite portrait of a Native American on the obverse, facing right. The word "LIBERTY" is inscribed along the upper right edge, while the year 1934 is stamped at the base of the profile. On the reverse, a massive American bison stands on a raised mound, modeled after a famous bison named Black Diamond. The inscriptions "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "FIVE CENTS" frame this detailed depiction of the Great Plains icon. Out of a mintage of over twenty million, this specific specimen has survived in an exceptional state of preservation, graded as Mint State 65 (MS-65), showcasing the original design details with remarkable clarity.
