1931-S Buffalo Nickel F/VF – Key Date of the 1930s
Rarest Buffalo Nickel of the 1930s
The 1931-S Buffalo Nickel is one of the most important key dates of the entire Buffalo Nickel series and the rarest regular-issue nickel of the 1930s. Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the depths of the Great Depression, only 1,200,000 pieces were minted—the second lowest mintage of the entire series.
Collectors quickly recognized its scarcity, and unlike many other Buffalo Nickels, most were saved, yet true Fine to Very Fine examples are still highly desirable. The coin displays bold detail in both the Native American portrait and the American Bison, making it a standout mid-grade survivor.
