Description
The 1935 Buffalo Nickel - Doubled Die Reverse is a nickel produced at the Philadelphia Mint as part of the Buffalo Nickels 1913-1938 series. The obverse features a composite Native American portrait combining features of three real tribal chiefs — Iron Tail (Lakota), Two Moons (Cheyenne), and John Big Tree (Seneca) and the reverse displays an American bison (often called Black Diamond after the famous bison at the Bronx Zoo) standing on a mound. Struck during the Great Depression, when mintages dropped sharply and the United States abandoned the gold standard in 1933. Struck at the original U.S. Mint facility, in continuous operation since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $69 to $105K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel, weighing 5 grams, 21.2 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #93974.
