Vintage U.S. Buffalo nickel collection comprising three partial Whitman coin albums with numerous examples from this iconic American coin series. The collection contains coins from various dates and mint marks within the series that ran from 1913 to 1938. The Buffalo/Indian Head nickel, designed by James Earle Fraser, features a Native American profile on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse, representing a significant period in American numismatic history. The collection includes specimens in various states of preservation, with some showing clear dates and details while others display expected wear consistent with circulation.
Condition Notes: Albums show moderate wear and aging consistent with handling and storage over several decades. Some empty slots indicate incomplete sets. Coins display varying levels of wear and toning, with some examples showing well-preserved detail while others exhibit more significant circulation wear. The Buffalo nickel series is known for date wear due to the raised design elements, and this collection reflects this characteristic. Refer to the pictures and in-person inspection for condition.
