A Glimpse into the Past
The Buffalo Nickel, designed by James Earle Fraser, captured the spirit of the American West during a period of significant change. Its imagery of a Native American on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse resonated with a nation undergoing industrialization while still cherishing its frontier heritage. The 1913-D Type One nickel, specifically, holds special interest due to its initial design before modifications were made later that year. The "D" mint mark signifies that it was struck at the Denver Mint.
