1926-D Buffalo Nickel ICG VG-8 IDC Verified
The 1926-D Buffalo nickel with its mintage of 5,638,000 pieces is a scarce semi-key coin in all grades and certainly so in uncirculated condition, in which fewer than 300 are estimated to have survived. There are handful in MS66 and a couple or so rare pieces in MS67, and examples in both grades inspire fervent bidding by registry set holders when a specimen makes its occasional walk across the auction block.
Obverse: James Earle Fraser's famous and simple design depicts a Native American chief with the word LIBERTY from 1-2 o'clock. The date is placed on the lower left of the chieftain's bust.
Reverse: A full portrait of the bison, Black Diamond, with the words UNITED STATES oF AMERICA at the top periphery with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM just underneath. The denomination FIVE CENTS is spelled out at the bottom. For the Type 1, the denomination is embossed on a flat surface.
