Add a low-mintage key date to your collection with the 1926-S Buffalo Nickel, graded VF 20 (Very Fine) by PCGS. With a production run of just 970,000 coins, the 1926-S holds the distinction of having the lowest mintage of any regular-issue Buffalo Nickel, making it one of the most sought-after coins in the entire series.

Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the economically challenging years of the mid-1920s, the 1926-S is known for its typically weak strike and softly defined features, which makes finding well-preserved examples extremely difficult. Even coins in Very Fine condition like this one are considered valuable due to the coin's scarcity and desirability among collectors.

The Buffalo Nickel, designed by James Earle Fraser, remains an iconic symbol of American coinage, with its powerful portrayal of a Native American on the obverse and a bison on the reverse. The 1926-S is a true standout—a key date that represents both historical significance and numismatic rarity.
