INB Graded Indian Head Buffalo Nickel Coin
Rare Indian Head Buffalo Nickel International Numismatic Bureau Slabbed INB
This Rare Indian Head Buffalo Nickel is securely housed in a professional slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). The coin features the iconic James Earle Fraser design, showcasing a noble Native American profile on the obverse and the majestic American Bison on the reverse. The date on this specific specimen is worn, which is a common characteristic of circulated Buffalo Nickels due to the raised design of the date area. The coin is presented in a clear protective holder with a green INB identification label, ensuring the preservation of its current condition and making it an excellent addition to any numismatic collection focusing on classic twentieth-century American coinage.
INB Graded Indian Head Buffalo Nickel 1913-1938
Condition: This Indian Head Buffalo Nickel shows significant circulation wear, with a heavily smoothed surface that has resulted in the loss of the date and much of the fine detail on both the obverse and reverse. The metal content consists of a copper-nickel alloy, typical for this series which was minted between 1913 and 1938. This specific specimen features a business strike type. Historically, the Buffalo Nickel was designed by James Earle Fraser and served as a quintessentially American coin, featuring a composite portrait of Native American chiefs on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse. The coin is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) holder, which identifies the series range but does not assign a specific numeric grade to this worn specimen.
