This collection details Indian Head/American Buffalo coinage . The delicate and alluring Buffalo obverse design depicts a combination of three different Indian Chiefs who had posed for James Earle Fraser early in the 1900’s. The same obverse design was used on Buffalo nickels from 1913 to 1938. The composite of the three chiefs in the design were from Chief Iron Tail, Chief Big Tree, and Chief Two Moons. These three chiefs were performers at Wild West shows in New York City when they originally modeled for Fraser. The Buffalo design itself originated from Black Diamond, a 1,550-pound bison located in New York’s Central Park Zoo in the early 1900’s. Therefore, the actual image on the coin portrays a model of an American Bison as opposed to a buffalo. However, for decades this American and historical design has been recognized and accepted with the nomenclature of buffalo. This collection gives examples of the Type 1 Buffalo Nickel, the Type 2 Buffalo Nickel, the Silver Buffalo Commemorative Proof, and the Gold Buffalo Commemorative Proof. Examples range from MS66-67 and PR69DC-PR70DC with additional examples to be added in the future.
