Product Details: Acquire a spectacular piece of early 20th-century Americana with this first-year-of-issue 1913-S Type 1 Buffalo Nickel, impeccably preserved and graded a premium MS 66 by PCGS. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this famous 'Type 1' variety showcases James Earle Fraser's original, short-lived design where the iconic American bison stands upon a raised earthen mound—a feature that was quickly modified to a flat line later that same year due to rapid wear in circulation. Boasting exquisite, vibrant peripheral toning that highlights the exceptionally crisp strike details on both the Native American profile and the textured bison, this gem-quality coin survived the era beautifully. Securely encapsulated by PCGS, this rare, high-grade survivor is a definitive cornerstone acquisition for discerning collectors of classic United States coinage.
