Offered here is a 1923 Buffalo nickel (Indian Head five cents) struck at the Philadelphia Mint (no mintmark below FIVE CENTS). Designed by James Earle Fraser, the Buffalo nickel is one of the most loved American coin designs, and this one is now more than 100 years old.
Grade: Good. The date is readable, with the "23" clear and the "19" lighter. LIBERTY is complete and the rims are full on both sides. The bison's horn is worn down to its base, as is usual at this grade.
Condition, please read: both sides have scattered dark spots of oxidation and toning, heaviest on the cheek and hair, in the fields around the bison and under UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. There are light scratches on the obverse (cheek and hair) and a few scratches on the bison on the reverse. Please view all the photos, which are the best description.
