Buffalo Nickels 1913-1938

About This Series

James Earle Fraser's iconic design features a composite Native American portrait on the obverse and an American bison (modeled on Black Diamond from the Central Park Zoo) on the reverse. The raised date wore quickly, creating many dateless examples. Key dates include the 1913-S Type 2, 1918/7-D overdate, and the three-legged 1937-D.
