1913-D Buffalo Nickel Type II Very Fine

Product Description

The Buffalo nickel was created by one of America's most illustrious sculptors, James E. Fraser. His original design had raised relief - most prominently in the ground on which the buffalo stands. But after the acclaimed release in 1913, banks complained about stacking problems. So the engraving was revised that same year, replacing the raised mound with a simple flat line. Only about 3% of Type II Buffalo nickels were produced in 1913, the first year of issue. Very Fine quality.
