Description
Enhance the historical depth and structural integrity of your United States coinage collection with a key first-year design variety. The 1913 Type 2 Buffalo Nickel represents a critical milestone in American numismatics, offering collectors a tangible piece of history that solved the rapid-wear issues of its short-lived predecessor.
- First-Year Type 2 Design Revision: Features Charles E. Barber’s modified flat, recessed ground line below the bison. So What? This structural adjustment protects the lower denomination text (“FIVE CENTS”) from premature circulation wear, ensuring the coin retains its clear identity and numismatic value over time.
- Very Fine (VF) Grade Condition: Displays moderate, even wear restricted mainly to the high points of the design. So What? Major elements—including the Native American profile facial features, the bison’s full horn base, and all rim lettering—remain fully visible and sharply defined, delivering strong visual appeal.
- Authentic James Earle Fraser Artwork: Minted with 75% copper and 25% nickel to precise US Treasury specifications. So What? You receive an original early 20th-century masterpiece with durable metal composition, making it ideal for standard protective display capsules and album slots.
