The 1914 Buffalo nickel represents the first full year of Type 2 production. However, across the board, all 1914 Buffalo nickels are considerably scarce, including this Philadelphia-minted issue which saw a mintage of 20,664,463 pieces. There are about 12,000 known survivors for all grades, which is a remarkably small percentage of the issue’s overall mintage. However, there are an ample number of circulated specimens available for collectors. In the grades of MS65, the 1914 Buffalo nickel becomes fairly challenging. All examples are generally well struck, with uncirculated pieces exhibiting great color and luster.
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.
