1913-P Type I Buffalo Nickel NGC/PCGS MS66

First-Year-Issue Buffalo Nickel

Now THIS is a cause for celebration! We recently secured more than 100 first-year 1913 Buffalo Nickels – a hoard that was slowly amassed one or two coins at a time by a passionate collector. Better yet, these were Type I Buffalo Nickels, struck earlier in the initial year of release and for only a short time.

When the Buffalo Nickel was released in 1913, it showed a massive bison standing on a raised mound at the bottom of the design. Unfortunately, it was soon discovered that the mound was so high off the coin that the “FIVE CENTS” denomination soon began wearing away. And so, just a few months later, the mound disappeared off the coin creating the No Mound Variety.

Designed by American sculptor James Earle Fraser, the famous Buffalo Nickel was issued from 1913-1938. It depicted a proud Native American on the obverse that is believed to be a composite of three Native American Indians. The reverse design for which the coin received its name was patterned after a powerful New York Central Park Zoo bison named “Black Diamond.” Thanks to Fraser’s well-researched and beautifully crafted design, the Buffalo Nickel has gone down in history as one of America’s most popular and enduring coins of all time.

Now you can secure one of these first-year legendary Type I Buffalo Nickels struck at the “Mother Mint” in Philadelphia. In addition, each has been certified and graded by either the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) or the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in Gem Uncirculated Mint State-66 (MS66) condition. Grading service varies. What a find!
