      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 3988
      Coin Date: 1913
      Denomination (Short): 5c
      Denomination (Long): 5 Cents
      Variety: Buffalo, Matte Finish
      Variety 2: Type 1
      Desg: PR
      Composition: 75% copper; 25% nickel
      Mintage: 1,520
      Strike Type: Proof
      Coinage Type: Buffalo nickel
      Coinage Years: 1913
      Mint Location: Philadelphia
      Diameter: 21.2
      Weight (Grams): 5
      Designer: James Earle Fraser
      Edge: Plain
      Obverse Description: James Earle Fraser's famous and simple design depicts a Native American chief with the word LIBERTY from 1-2 o'clock. The date is placed on the lower left of the chieftain's bust.
      Reverse Description: A full portrait of the bison, Black Diamond, with the words UNITED STATES oF AMERICA at the top periphery with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM just underneath. The denomination FIVE CENTS is spelled out at the bottom. For the Type 1, the denomination is embossed on raised ground.
      General Notes: The 1913 Type 1 Buffalo nickel proof is a popular acquisition among both type set builders and Buffalo nickel enthusiasts who wish to complete the proof side of the series. With relatively few proof issues made, it is quite economically feasible for the more advanced Buffalo nickel collectors to add one example of each proof to their collections. Dealers, meanwhile, encounter 1913 Type 1 Buffalo proofs on occasion. Of an original mintage of 1,520 pieces, fewer than 1,000 are known to remain in PR60 grade or higher. Most are found in the PR64 to PR66 range, with a few dozen known in PR67 and about a dozen in PR68.
