1913–1938-S Buffalo Nickel Quarter-Pound Bag

A Quarter-Pound of Buffalo Nickels

The Buffalo Nickel is one of the most iconic coins ever struck by the U.S. Mint. It exudes the American spirit, and now you can bring home a full quarter-pound bag (that’s regular pounds, not Troy pounds) stuffed with Buffalo Nickels struck at the San Francisco Mint — a mint responsible for striking just 10% of all Buffalo Nickels, the lowest of any mint to strike the coin! That’s 23 coins in all, each in Good or better condition. Each set of coins will come in a black pouch with a detailed storybook on the Buffalo Nickel series. Dates vary, but every coin will come with the “S” mint mark of the respected San Francisco Mint!

James Earle Fraser’s Famous Wild West Design

Created by famed American sculptor James Earle Fraser, the Buffalo Nickel has always been one of America’s most popular coins. The Indian depicted on the coin is a dead ringer for Oglala Lakota Chief Iron Tail — though Fraser claimed it was a composite of three men in order to protect both the Chief’s privacy and his own artistic license. The buffalo on the reverse was modeled after Black Diamond, a large American bison then on display at the Bronx Zoo in New York City not far from Fraser’s studio. This timeless design is as popular as ever and now graces the U.S Mint’s annual $50 one-ounce gold bullion coin!
