Vintage Indian Head Buffalo Nickel INB Slabbed Vintage Indian Head Buffalo Nickel INB Slabbed Green Label Holder This classic American coin features the iconic James Earle Fraser design, showcasing the profile of a Native American on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse. Struck in copper-nickel, this specimen is housed in a professional slab from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB) featuring a distinctive green label. The holder ensures the coin is preserved and protected, making it a great addition for collectors of vintage United States coinage. The Buffalo Nickel remains one of the most beloved and recognizable designs in numismatic history, representing the spirit of the American West. Vintage Indian Head Buffalo Nickel INB Slabbed 1913-1938 Condition: This coin is presented in a circulated state with significant wear consistent with a low-grade specimen. The date is worn off and no longer visible on the obverse, a common trait for this series due to the design's high relief. The surfaces appear darkened with a matte patina, and the finer details of the Native American profile and the American Bison are flattened. The coin is housed in an International Numismatic Bureau (INB) slab, which classifies the series but does not provide a specific numerical grade on the label. The metal content is copper-nickel, consisting of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Designed by James Earle Fraser, the Buffalo Nickel was minted between 1913 and 1938 and is a cornerstone of American numismatics, celebrating the American West. This specific coin features a business strike type. The mint mark is not identifiable due to the orientation and wear on the reverse.
