Circulated Copper-Nickel Indian Buffalo Nickel Circulated Indian Head Buffalo Nickel 1913-1938 Copper-Nickel Five Cent Coin INB Graded Condition: The coin is in circulated condition, exhibiting significant wear across the high points of the Native American profile on the obverse and the American bison on the reverse. The date is worn away or obscured, which is common for this series due to the design's relief. The metal content is a copper-nickel alloy, consisting of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Minted between 1913 and 1938, this James Earle Fraser design is a staple of American numismatic history, symbolizing the Western frontier. This specimen is a business strike type and is housed in a holder from the International Numismatic Bureau (INB), though no specific numerical grade is assigned on the label beyond the series date range.
