1938 D Buffalo Nickel NGC MS66 Bag Fragment
1938-D Buffalo Nickel NGC MS66 Original Bag Fragment
This 1938-D Buffalo Nickel is graded MS66 by NGC and is featured in the exclusive Original Bag Series. Struck at the Denver Mint, this copper-nickel specimen is housed in a specialty holder that includes a fragment of an original canvas mint bag, providing a unique historical connection to the coin's storage history. The coin exhibits the high-quality luster and sharp detail expected of a Mint State 66 grade, with the iconic Native American profile on the obverse and the American bison on the reverse remaining crisp. As a final year of issue for the Buffalo Nickel series, this uncirculated Denver Mint mark coin is a significant piece for collectors seeking a combination of preservation and numismatic history.
1938 D Buffalo Nickel NGC MS66 Original Bag Fragment Series
Condition: This item is in Mint State 66 condition as certified by NGC, indicating a high-quality strike with minimal marks and original luster. It is part of the Original Bag Series, meaning it is encapsulated with a fragment of the original canvas mint bag it was stored in. The coin was minted in Denver (D mint mark) and is composed of copper and nickel. 1938 was the final year of production for the Buffalo Nickel series, designed by James Earle Fraser, making it a significant historical transitional piece before the introduction of the Jefferson Nickel. This specimen features a business strike type rather than a proof strike.
