1938-D Buffalo Nickel MS-67 NGC
The 1938 Buffalo nickel struck at the Denver Mint represents the final year of one of America's most iconic circulating coin designs. This particular specimen has achieved an exceptional grade of Mint State 67 (MS-67), indicating its superb preservation and outstanding visual quality. Out of a total mintage of 5,376,000 for this issue, finding examples in such pristine condition is a delight for those who appreciate numismatic artistry. Created by sculptor James Fraser, the coin features two distinctively American subjects. The obverse presents a detailed profile of a Native American, accompanied by the word LIBERTY and the date 1938. On the reverse, a powerful American bison stands atop a mound, with the denomination FIVE CENTS inscribed below. This combination of imagery captures a rugged, historic spirit that continues to fascinate observers decades after the series concluded.
