Own a classic piece of American history with this beautifully assembled 14-coin collection of Buffalo Head Nickels, neatly presented in a Whitman No. 9008 album.
Featuring James Earle Fraser’s iconic Native American portrait and majestic American bison design, this set spans nearly a quarter-century of coinage, making it a perfect cornerstone for any numismatist.
The collection features a strong foundational run mostly in Very Good (VG) condition, including highly desirable early years like the 1913 inaugural year, 1915, and 1919. It also captures a great multi-year sequence through the mid-1920s (1923, 1925–1928).
Several standout coins elevate this set well above average circulated lots:
- The Key Date: A coveted 1931-S (San Francisco Mint), the second-lowest mintage business strike of the entire series.
- Premium Grades: The 1930 and 1934 issues arrive in crisp Fine (F) condition, while the final-era 1937 and 1937-D (Denver Mint) examples boast sharp, high-grade details in Very Fine (VF) condition.
Housed in the familiar, collector-favorite Whitman No. 9008 folder, this set is completely organized, protected, and ready for display. It serves as an excellent turnkey acquisition for an experienced collector looking to fill gaps, or a fantastic, high-quality starter set to pass down to the next generation of numismatists.
