1913-S Type 2 Buffalo Nickel 5C - F/VF
Add a key early issue from one of America's most iconic coin series with this 1913-S Type II Buffalo Nickel. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin represents the revised Type 2 design introduced in 1913 after the original Type 1 reverse experienced excessive wear in circulation. The updated design recessed the denomination below the raised mound, creating a more durable and practical coin for everyday use.
Designed by James Earle Fraser, the Buffalo Nickel features a powerful Native American portrait on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse. The design captures the spirit of the American West and remains one of the most beloved coin designs ever produced by the United States Mint.
In Fine to Very Fine (F/VF) condition, this coin displays moderate circulation wear while retaining strong overall detail. Major design elements remain clear, with visible detail in the Native American portrait and the buffalo, making it an attractive example for collectors seeking an affordable early-date Buffalo Nickel.
With more than a century of history behind it, the 1913-S Type 2 Buffalo Nickel is an excellent addition to any Buffalo Nickel collection, U.S. type set, or collection of classic American coinage.
