Condition: This item is a circulated Indian Head Buffalo Nickel housed in a holder by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). The coin displays significant wear consistent with a lower-grade circulated specimen, with the date being partially or fully obscured by wear, which is common for this series. The metal content consists of a copper-nickel alloy (75% copper, 25% nickel). Historically, the Buffalo Nickel was designed by James Earle Fraser and minted between 1913 and 1938, featuring a composite portrait of three Native American chiefs on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse. This is a business strike type coin. While the INB slab provides a serial number, the specific numeric grade is not visible on the label.
