Additional Description: A Whitman folder housing Buffalo nickels from 1913 to 1938 offers a fascinating journey through one of the most iconic and artistically rich series in American numismatics. Designed by James Earle Fraser, the Buffalo nickel captures a rugged and romanticized vision of the American West: the obverse features a Native American chief’s profile, while the reverse showcases a majestic American bison standing atop a mound. Struck in 75% copper and 25% nickel, these coins circulated widely during a time of great change from the Progressive Era through the Roaring Twenties and into the depths of the Great Depression.
