The Historic Buffalo Nickel Mint Mark Collection is a popular, commercially assembled numismatic set that showcases the three main United States Mints responsible for producing the iconic Buffalo Nickel. Minted between 1913 and 1938, the Buffalo Nickel (designed by renowned sculptor James Earle Fraser) features a composite profile of three Native American chiefs on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse.
Features one coin from each producing mint facility: Philadelphia (no mint mark), Denver ("D"), and San Francisco ("S"). The mint marks are located on the reverse side, directly under the "FIVE CENTS" denomination.
The set houses the circulated coins in a custom, hard-plastic clear presentation wallet or lens display case complete with a historical narrative and a Certificate of Authenticity
Common, heavily circulated Buffalo Nickels from the late 1930s generally command a retail value of only a few dollars each. Consequently, these pre-assembled collections are highly accessible entry-level items for hobbyists.
