The classic type 1 (raised ground) Buffalo 5 Cents, my favorite because it doesn't look like the buffalo is standing on a platform. After I bought this the spots started to show up (PCGS!), one is strategically located under it's tail!
Harry Waterson writes:
"Last Monday and Tuesday PBS aired a two-part Ken Burns documentary on The American Buffalo and its ties to The American Experience. Part II, called Into The Storm recounts the Bison's slow struggle back from near extermination as a species. One of the markers Ken Burns used to document that struggle is the 1913 Buffalo Nickel by James Earle Fraser. The narrator, Peter Coyote, said that Fraser wanted to produce a coin that was totally American and could not be confused with the coinage of any other country. Fraser not only succeeded in that endeavor but he created a milestone in the resuscitation of the Bison back into the fabric of American life. Still an ongoing effort and well worth our support and good will."
