1937 Buffalo Nickel BU
The 1937 Buffalo Nickel stands as a classic representative of twentieth century American coinage. Struck in Philadelphia, this five cent piece is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, allowing observers to appreciate the full depth of its artistic details just as they appeared when the coin first left the mint. Created by the sculptor James Earle Fraser, the coin's imagery departs from traditional allegorical figures to celebrate the heritage of the American West. The obverse features a powerful profile portrait of an American Indian, accompanied by the word LIBERTY and the date 1937. On the reverse, a massive bison stands atop a raised mound of earth. This side also displays the national motto E PLURIBUS UNUM alongside the denomination FIVE CENTS, completing a design that remains one of the most distinctive and admired in the history of United States currency.
