INB Slabbed Indian Head Buffalo Nickel United States 5-Cent Coin Condition: The coin is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. It displays significant circulation wear, with the date being worn smooth and no longer visible on the obverse. The details on the native American portrait and the American bison on the reverse are flattened, which is characteristic of a heavily circulated specimen. The surfaces show a consistent grey patina consistent with its copper-nickel composition. Mint: The mint mark is not clearly identifiable due to the level of wear and the angle of the photograph. Buffalo nickels were produced at the Philadelphia, Denver (D), and San Francisco (S) mints. Metal Content: This coin is composed of copper and nickel (75% copper, 25% nickel). Historical Context: Designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the Indian Head or Buffalo Nickel was minted between 1913 and 1938. It was part of a movement to beautify American coinage and features a composite portrait of three different Native American chiefs on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse, modeled after "Black Diamond" from the Central Park Zoo. Strike Type: Business strike. Grading: The item is slabbed by INB (International Numismatic Bureau); however, a specific numeric grade is not provided on the visible label. Based on visual inspection, the coin shows wear consistent with a low circulated grade.
