Offered here is a 1928 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 nearly 100 years old.
Grade: About Good (AG). This is a partial date coin: the "2" and the "8" can be seen, and the "19" is worn away, which is what holds the grade at AG. The rest of the coin is better than usual for the grade, with LIBERTY complete, full rims on both sides, all the reverse legends readable and a bold FIVE CENTS. The bison's horn is worn down to its base.
Condition, please read: there are light scratches across the Indian's cheek, hair and the obverse fields. On the reverse there are scratches on the bison and a few small dark pits or marks on its side and shoulder. The coin has an even gray circulated color. Please view all the photos, which are the best description.
