United States Indian Head Buffalo Nickel 1913-1938 INB Graded Slab Condition: The coin exhibits significant wear consistent with a low-grade circulated state. The date on the obverse is completely worn away, and the fine details of the Native American profile and the bison on the reverse are smoothed over. The surfaces appear dark with heavy circulation marks. It is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab, which classifies the date range as 1913-1938 due to the lack of a visible date. The mint mark is not visible due to wear, suggesting it was struck at the Philadelphia, Denver, or San Francisco mints. The metal content is a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Historically, this James Earle Fraser design is one of the most iconic American coins, intended to capture the spirit of the American West. This is a business strike type, intended for general circulation rather than a proof strike. The specific numerical grade is not provided on the INB label.
