One of the most common Denver-minted Buffalo nickels, the 1936-D is widely available in all grades. Thousands are known in MS65, hundreds in MS66, dozens in MS67, and a handful in MS68, with the latter pieces inspiring bids well into the five figures. These, of course, find an enthusiastic collecting audience with registry set builders who wish to obtain the best possible example of the issue for their collections.
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.
