This 1913 Type 1 Buffalo Nickel, graded Mint State 67 (MS 67) by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), represents the very first year of issue for one of America’s most iconic coin designs.
Designed by James Earle Fraser, the obverse features the composite portrait of a Native American chief, while the reverse shows a majestic American bison standing on a raised mound—an image that was later modified in the Type 2 design. The Type 1’s bold, high-relief surfaces and rustic detail make it a favorite among collectors.
This specimen’s superb preservation and natural luster place it among the finest known examples of the issue. With its sharp strike and rich toning, it embodies both artistic beauty and numismatic history—a true centerpiece for any advanced U.S. coin collection.
