1938-D Buffalo Nickel - PCGS MS-67 - Buffalo RPM

Offered here is an authentic 1938-D Buffalo Nickel, also known as an Indian Head Nickel, struck at the Denver Mint and certified by PCGS as MS-67 with a Buffalo RPM attribution.

The 1938-D represents the final year of the Buffalo Nickel series, which was produced from 1913 through 1938. Designed by renowned American sculptor James Earle Fraser, the coin features a Native American portrait on the obverse and the iconic American bison on the reverse.

This example carries a Buffalo RPM attribution, identifying a repunched mintmark variety. RPM varieties were created when a mintmark was punched into a working die more than once in slightly different positions, leaving visible evidence of the earlier impression. These varieties are especially appealing to collectors specializing in die varieties and Buffalo Nickels.

Graded MS-67 by PCGS, this example is preserved at the Superb Gem Mint State level. MS-67 represents an exceptionally high level of preservation, making this a notable example of the final Denver Mint issue of the series.
