Buffalo Nickel (Indian Head Nickel) 1935 (VF)

The Buffalo nickel, also known as the Indian Head nickel, is a copper-nickel five-cent piece that was struck by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. Designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, this coin holds a special place in American numismatic history because it replaced the Liberty Head nickel and was part of a drive to beautify US coinage during the early 20th century.

On the obverse, it features a right-profile Native American (based on Iron Tail and Two Moons). The reverse showcases an American bison. Fraser’s design aimed to capture the spirit of the American West.
