Rare Slabbed US Indian Head Buffalo Nickel Coin
Rare Slabbed US Indian Head Buffalo Nickel International Numismatic Bureau Holder
This vintage US Indian Head Buffalo Nickel comes preserved in a protective professional slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). Struck in a durable copper-nickel alloy, this iconic American coin features James Earle Fraser’s famous portrait of a Native American chieftain on the obverse and a majestic American Bison on the reverse. The holder identifies the series' production years from 1913 to 1938. As a slabbed specimen, this coin represents a classic era of United States coinage history and is a must-have for collectors of early 20th-century numismatics. The clear protective case ensures the coin remains shielded from further wear while allowing for easy display of both the obverse and reverse details.
Rare Slabbed US Indian Head Buffalo Nickel Coin INB Graded
Condition: This coin is in a circulated state with significant wear visible on both the obverse and reverse surfaces. The date is worn smooth and is not legible, which is common for this series due to the design of the date placement. The features of the Native American profile and the American Bison are flattened, and the rims show signs of merging with the design fields. It is housed in a protective holder by the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). As a Buffalo Nickel, it is composed of a copper-nickel alloy, specifically 75% copper and 25% nickel. The coin was minted between 1913 and 1938, a period characterized by James Earle Fraser's iconic design intended to celebrate the American West. This is a business strike type, intended for general circulation rather than a collector's proof finish. The specific mint mark is not identifiable due to the level of wear on the reverse.
