1913-S Buffalo Nickel 5C Type 2 PCGS MS 64
Add a true numismatic treasure to your collection with the 1913-S Buffalo Nickel Type 2, certified MS 64 by PCGS. This key-date coin represents a critical moment in American coinage history—the debut year of the Buffalo Nickel series and the transition from Type 1 to Type 2 designs. Struck at the San Francisco Mint with a low mintage of only 1,209,000 pieces.
Designed by the esteemed sculptor James Earle Fraser, the Buffalo Nickel captures iconic American imagery: a composite Native American portrait on the obverse and a powerful bison on the reverse. The Type 2 version introduced in late 1913 features a recessed “FIVE CENTS” denomination to protect it from rapid wear—a vital adjustment from the original mound-style Type 1 design.
Whether you're a seasoned numismatist or a passionate collector of early 20th-century U.S. coinage, this certified 1913-S Type 2 Buffalo Nickel is an exceptional find that blends history, artistry, and rarity.
