1937-S Buffalo Nickel MS-65 NGC
The 1937-S Buffalo Nickel stands as a classic representative of mid-century American coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this five-cent piece is composed of a non-precious metal alloy and has survived in exceptional condition, certified by professional graders at a high-quality Mint State 65 (MS-65). James Earle Fraser designed the striking imagery on both sides of the coin. The obverse features a detailed profile of an American Indian facing right, accompanied by the inscription LIBERTY and the date 1937. On the reverse, an American bison stands atop a raised mound. The legends FIVE CENTS and E PLURIBUS UNUM are integrated into the reverse design, along with the distinct 'S' mint mark indicating its origin in San Francisco.
