The 1913 Type 2 Buffalo nickel saw a very similar mintage to the Type 1, with the Type 2 being struck to the tune of 1,514 pieces. The Type 2 also saw a similar attrition rate, leaving fewer than 900 or so examples in PR60 or better for collectors today. Most of these proofs are found in the 64-66 range, though there are several dozen PR67s around and presently 16 PR68s as certified by both PCGS and NGC.
Obverse Description
