Description
This is an electrotype trial in white metal, coated with copper, of James Earle Fraser's Indian head, which he first designed for a cent in 1911. Fraser later used the portrait on the Buffalo nickel, which circulated from 1913. Being an electrotype, it was made from a model by electroplating rather than struck from dies. It is unique and came from the Fraser estate, sold in 1985 and 2006.
