Rare Slabbed Indian Head Buffalo Nickel Coin
Rare Slabbed Indian Head Buffalo Nickel INB Graded
This historic Indian Head Buffalo Nickel is presented in a professional protective slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). Struck in a durable copper-nickel alloy, this iconic American coin features the classic James Earle Fraser design, showcasing a noble Native American profile on the obverse and a majestic American bison on the reverse. The coin is housed in an INB green label holder, which provides a clear display of the coin's surfaces and protects its numismatic integrity. This piece represents a significant era in United States coinage history, spanning the years 1913 to 1938, making it a sought-after addition for collectors of vintage American currency.
Rare Slabbed Indian Head Buffalo Nickel INB Graded
Condition: This coin is preserved in a protective professional slab by the International Numismatic Bureau. The strike type is a business strike. The obverse features the profile of a Native American, while the reverse displays an American bison. The date on this specific specimen is worn, which is a common occurrence for this series due to the high relief design of the numerals. The metal content for this series is a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the Indian Head or Buffalo Nickel was minted between 1913 and 1938, serving as a quintessential piece of American numismatic history that captured the spirit of the Western frontier. Because the mint mark would be located under the buffalo and the date on the shoulder, and both are heavily obscured by circulation wear, the specific mint and year of this coin are unidentified beyond the series range of 1913-1938.
