-XwEKbzbiqk8AAAFLMNejltuE.jpg "1 Nickel / 5 Cent Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika (1776 - ) Kupfer/Nickel")
1913. Type 1. PCGS graded Proof 65. Boldly struck and lightly toned. Only 1,520 minted. It appears that even the artist who designed this piece, James Earle Fraser, preferred the informal term "buffalo" to the more zoologically correct bison. Semantics aside, the model for the nickels reverse is known to have been a bull named Black Diamond. This animal was then a resident of New York Citys Central Park Zoo and was already about seventeen years old at the time. Frasers own correspondence reveals his exasperation in attempting to keep this beast posed in profile as depicted on the coin. Evidently quite uncooperative, it insisted on confronting the artist head on and would return to this stance immediately after being corrected. Black Diamond has occasionally been cited as the model for the $10 United States Note of 1901, the so-called "buffalo bill." This attribution is incorrect, as the greenback actually portrays Pablo, a star attraction at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. This mistaken identity is understandable, as the $10 note was in use alongside the nickel through the late 1920s. (For a detailed account of this fascinating coin, see David W. Langes The Complete Guide to Buffalo Nickels.) A highly lustrous gem with a nuance of pale champagne and gold toning on both sides, all of which is underpinned by full sandblast freshness. Struck from typically-bold dies that imported their fine detail, especially at the main central devices (PCGS # 3988) . Estimated Value $2,400 - 2,500. Ex: Garrett Collection. Categories: Nickels
