1938-D 5C Buffalo, MS

Description

1938-D 5¢ Buffalo Nickel, MS67. This exceptional 1938-D Buffalo nickel represents an outstanding example of this popular early-date issue from the Denver Mint. Certified by NGC as MS67, this coin displays the lustrous, well-preserved surfaces that characterize premium-quality specimens from this era. The 1938-D is a key date in the Buffalo nickel series, with a relatively modest mintage of 7,020,000 pieces, making high-grade examples increasingly difficult to locate. The coin exhibits the crisp strike and attractive original patina expected of a Mint State example at this grade level. The obverse features James Earle Fraser's iconic Native American profile, while the reverse displays the American bison in characteristic repose. At MS67, this coin has surpassed the typical circulated and lower Mint State examples that comprise most surviving 1938-D nickels, placing it firmly in the realm of premium collector material.
