USA 5 Cents – Buffalo Nickel 1913, Type 2
Authentic 1913 U.S. Buffalo Nickel Type 2 with recessed ground design. A classic first-year American collectible coin, available at CoinNazal.
Description
The 1913 U.S. Buffalo Nickel, Type 2 represents the improved design introduced later in 1913, created to address wear issues found on the original Type 1 coins. Designed by James Earle Fraser, the Type 2 features a recessed ground beneath the bison, improving durability and extending the coin’s circulation life.
The obverse displays a Native American portrait, while the reverse shows the American bison standing on a recessed mound with the denomination clearly visible. Type 2 Buffalo Nickels are popular among collectors as they represent the final and long-lasting design used through 1938.
Each coin offered by CoinNazal is carefully examined to ensure authenticity and accurate description.
