ABOUT THE COIN

The Buffalo Nickel, also known as the Indian Head Nickel, is one of America’s most recognizable and beloved coin designs.

Designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the series was produced by the United States Mint from 1913 through 1938.

The obverse features Fraser’s composite portrait inspired by Native American individuals, while the reverse depicts an American bison standing on a raised mound.

The 1937 Philadelphia issue represents one of the final years of the Buffalo Nickel series, which was replaced by the Jefferson Nickel in 1938.

This example has earned the impressive PCGS MS66 designation, indicating Gem Uncirculated quality with exceptional preservation.

WHY THE OLDER HOLDER MATTERS

This coin remains housed in its older PCGS blue-label holder.

Collectors of vintage PCGS slabs often appreciate original, older-generation holders for their historical significance within the evolution of professional coin grading.

The combination of a classic Buffalo Nickel, high MS66 grade, and older-generation PCGS certification makes this an appealing addition to both Buffalo Nickel collections and vintage certified-holder collections.
