1936-S Buffalo Nickel MS-64 PCGS
The 1936 Buffalo Nickel stands as a classic example of American coinage, showcasing a design that captures the spirit of the American West. Sculpted by James Earle Fraser, the obverse of the coin presents a detailed profile of a Native American chief, accompanied by the word LIBERTY and the year 1936. This particular specimen was struck at the San Francisco Mint, as indicated by the small S mint mark located on the reverse side. On the reverse, a massive American bison stands atop a raised mound of earth. The inscriptions FIVE CENTS and E PLURIBUS UNUM are integrated into the design. This coin has been certified in Mint State 64 (MS-64) condition, preserving the intricate textures of the native portrait and the powerful musculature of the bison just as they emerged from the San Francisco coin presses.
