Historical Significance of the Buffalo Nickel
Issued during the challenging era of the Great Depression, the Buffalo Nickel series (1913-1938) is renowned for its distinctly American artistry. Designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the coin features a dignified Native American chief on the obverse, a composite portrait of three different tribal leaders. The reverse proudly displays an American Bison, symbolizing the nation's rugged spirit and vast wilderness. The 1934 issue from the Philadelphia Mint is particularly notable for its often strong strike quality, offering a clear depiction of Fraser's intricate design elements.
