Indian Head Buffalo Nickel 1913-1938 INB Slabbed Coin
Condition: This coin is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab. The date on the coin appears to be worn or indistinct, which is common for the Buffalo Nickel series. The surfaces show significant circulation wear, with flattened details on the Native American profile and the buffalo on the reverse. The metal content consists of a copper-nickel alloy, typical for business strike nickels of this era. Designed by James Earle Fraser, the Buffalo Nickel is a cornerstone of American numismatic history, circulating from 1913 through 1938. The mint mark and specific year cannot be definitively identified from the images provided due to the degree of wear on the strike.
