Vintage INB Indian Head Buffalo Nickel Coin
Vintage INB Slabbed Indian Head Buffalo Nickel 1913-1938 Copper-Nickel Coin
This vintage Indian Head / Buffalo Nickel is presented in a specialized slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB). Struck in a composition of copper and nickel, this iconic American coin features the powerful profile of a Native American on the obverse and the majestic American Bison on the reverse. The coin is housed in a clear protective holder with a green INB label, which includes a unique serial number and barcode for identification. Collectors value these older INB slabs as a snapshot of numismatic history. The coin displays natural circulation wear consistent with its age, preserving the classic James Earle Fraser design that remains a staple of United States coinage history from the early 20th century.
Vintage INB Graded Indian Head Buffalo Nickel 1913-1938
Condition: This coin is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) holder. The specimen shows significant circulation wear consistent with a lower grade, as the date is completely worn away and the high points of the Native American profile and the buffalo are smoothed. The metal content consists of a copper-nickel alloy. Historically, the Buffalo Nickel was designed by James Earle Fraser and minted between 1913 and 1938 to celebrate American heritage. This is a business strike type coin. While the INB label identifies the series, it does not provide a specific numerical grade for this individual piece.
