The 1915-D Buffalo nickel is a challenging coin across the grading spectrum, even in lower-end circulated grades. Only 7,569,000 examples were struck and fewer than 10,000 are estimated to have survived, with most succumbing to extensive use in circulation. Difficult in circulated condition, the coin is tougher yet to locate in uncirculated grades and is extremely scarce in MS66 and MS67, the latter being the highest grade awarded by either PCGS or NGC.
Obverse Description
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 Description
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.
