1935-S Buffalo Nickel XF
The five-cent piece minted in 1935 stands as a classic representative of twentieth-century American coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin displays the distinctive 'S' mint mark on its reverse side, indicating its West Coast origin. This particular specimen is preserved in Extra Fine condition, showcasing the finer details of its celebrated artwork with only moderate wear from its time in circulation. James Earle Fraser designed this coin, crafting a powerful tribute to the American West. The obverse features a detailed profile of an American Indian, accompanied by the inscription 'LIBERTY' and the year of issue, 1935. On the reverse, a massive bison stands atop a raised mound, with the denomination 'FIVE CENTS' clearly visible below the animal. This copper-nickel composition remains one of the most recognizable and beloved designs in the history of United States coinage.
