1937-D Buffalo Nickel MS-66 PCGS
The 1937 Buffalo nickel, struck at the Denver Mint, stands as a classic representative of mid-century American coinage. This particular specimen is certified in an exceptional Mint State 66 (MS-66) condition, showcasing the intricate details of a design that has captivated observers for generations. Created by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the coin features a powerful portrait of an American Indian on the obverse, accompanied by the word LIBERTY and the year 1937. The reverse depicts a magnificent American bison standing atop a raised mound, accompanied by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and the denomination FIVE CENTS, with the D mint mark positioned below. Though commonly referred to as a nickel, the metallic composition of this five-cent piece is actually a alloy of 75 percent copper and 25 percent nickel. Finding a specimen preserved in such a high grade allows a clear appreciation of Fraser's textured, organic artistry.
