Description
Stunning 1913-S Type Two Five Cent, MS67
1913-S 5C Type Two MS67 NGC. James Earle Fraser made his only contribution to America's circulating coinage in 1913, when his Buffalo nickel design made its debut. Once the pieces made their way to circulation, Fraser's inclinations as a sculptor and a medalist ran afoul of coinage needs: the denomination FIVE CENTS, raised on a mound at the lower reverse, was prone to wearing away. The Mint moved to redesign the pieces, and the bison stood on flat ground for the new Type Two nickels, which made their debut late in the same year.This is a simply stunning example of the 1913-S Type Two nickel, widely known as one of the most elusive Buffalo nickels, particularly in high grades. The strike is considerably above-average, particularly on the Indian's braid and bison's shoulder. Impeccably preserved surfaces exhibit wonderful luster with a thin veneer of champagne patina. Census: 6 in 67, 0 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N4719)
