Certified Buffalo Nickel 1913-S Type 2 VG10 NGC

Own the first-year Type 2 issue of one of America's most beloved coin designs with this Certified 1913 Buffalo Nickel Type 2 graded VG10 by NGC. Designed by renowned sculptor James Earle Fraser, the Buffalo Nickel was introduced in 1913 and quickly became an icon of American coinage. During its inaugural year, the U.S. Mint modified the reverse design, creating the collectible Type 2 variety. Unlike the earlier Type 1 design with the buffalo standing on a raised mound, the Type 2 features the animal standing on a recessed exergue, allowing the denomination to wear more slowly in circulation.
