      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 a flat surface.
      General Notes: The 1915 proof Buffalo nickel continued the decline in mintage from 1914, with only 1,050 struck — the second-lowest mintage for the series. The majority of 1915 proofs are encountered in the PR64-66 range, with a few dozen in PR67 and about a dozen in PR68 as graded by PCGS and NGC. The latter firm also slabbed one with a grade of PR69.
