Buy 1929-S Buffalo Nickel Online
The 1929 Buffalo Nickel is a U.S. coin minted as part of the Buffalo Nickel series from 1913 to 1938, that features James Earle Fraser's iconic design. This design includes a Native American on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse, reflecting the spirit of early 20th-century America. The 1929 date is of particular interest due to its place in the series during the late 1920s, a period marked by economic changes leading up to the Great Depression.
In 1929, the U.S. Stock Market crashed and launched the United States into the Great Depression. This brought changes to the way people held onto and invested their money, as many Americans found their savings lost to the banks. Due to the downturn, the U.S. Mint would greatly reduce production of coins on the whole, as the U.S. Government was unable to allocate appropriate funds to the U.S. Mint until 1934.
1929-S Buffalo Nickel Value
The 1929-S Buffalo nickel was minted in lower numbers than its counterparts at the historic San Francisco mint. Because of this, and the rarity of a Buffalo nickel in great condition, this is a highly collectible coin with an average value of around one dollar and twenty-five cents. However, like many older coins, condition is key to the coin’s value - look for clear, distinct engravings and signs of wear to determine a coin’s grade. A mint condition, uncirculated coin is valued at around fifty-five dollars.
