1926-S Nickel Indian Head or Buffalo

1926-S Buffalo Nickel

The 1926-S Buffalo Nickel is a classic United States five-cent coin struck at the San Francisco Mint. Designed by James Earle Fraser, the obverse features a striking Native American portrait, while the reverse depicts an American bison standing on a raised ground.

The 1926-S issue is particularly notable among Buffalo Nickel collectors because of its relatively low mintage and the challenge of finding well-preserved examples with strong detail. Like many Buffalo Nickels, the design's high points are susceptible to wear, making condition an important factor in determining collector value.
