Undoubtedly the most dramatic, artisitc, and original set of designs employed for a U.S. coin, the Buffalo/Indian Head Nickel went into production in 1913. James E. Fraser, the designer, was not one to go half way. He hired an Indian to sit for the obverse portrait and took his sketching gear to the Bronx Zoo to get a likeness of a buffalo in the flesh.

This coin seems to grade out at Very Good (VG-8), and I believe you can see all of the details in the photographs. The contrast is striking on this coin, with a nice dark area around the subjects outline.

Condition is Very Good, with No Holes, No Bends, Nice color and detail.
