1937-S Buffalo Nickel BU
The 1937-S Buffalo Nickel stands as a classic representative of mid-century American coinage. Minted in San Francisco, this five-cent piece is composed of copper and nickel, preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coin showcases a remarkable level of detail that highlights the artistry of its creator, James Earle Fraser. On the obverse, a powerful profile of a Native American chieftain faces right, accompanied by the inscription LIBERTY and the date 1937. The reverse side features a majestic American bison standing atop a raised mound. Below the animal, the denomination FIVE CENTS is visible alongside the small, distinct S mint mark, which denotes its origin at the San Francisco Mint. The traditional motto PLURIBUS UNUM is also elegantly integrated into the reverse design, completing this iconic piece of numismatic art.
