Buffalo Nickel — Fine (F)
Dates Our Choice
The Buffalo Nickel is a classic piece of early 20th-century American coinage, struck from 1913 to 1938 and used hard in everyday commerce. These nickels passed through countless hands during a time when small change mattered, and most surviving examples show the effects of years of circulation.
A Fine (F) Buffalo Nickel clearly reflects that history. Liberty’s portrait remains bold, though finer hair detail is worn smooth, and the date is readable but not sharp. On the reverse, the buffalo’s outline is strong, with major features visible even as surface detail has softened. The wear is honest and even, giving the coin the well-traveled look collectors expect at this grade.
Because Buffalo Nickels circulated so heavily, Fine examples represent how most of these coins actually lived their lives. They’re a popular choice for collectors who enjoy the series for its design and history rather than pristine condition.
“Dates our choice” means the specific year is selected from our available inventory, but every coin meets the stated Fine standard. This is an accessible way to add an authentic, circulated Buffalo Nickel with real character to your collection.
