1913 Buffalo Nickel Type I & Type II Pair Very Fine

Product Description

If you're looking for affordable first year Buffalo types, our pair of nicely detailed Very Fine Philadelphia specimens will certainly fit the bill! Although the famous 1913 Type I and Type II nickels were struck across all three mints, far fewer were issued by Denver and San Fran and thus tend to be pricey. When the Buffalo nickel entered circulation, it was apparent that the raised mound on which the bison stood would quickly wear away, and with it the legend FIVE CENTS. A second type was issued; the raised mound was excavated, creating a flat plane with the denomination placed in the recessed area below.
