1936–1937 Buffalo Nickel 5-Coin Group - Late Series Vintage Date Set - Circulated VG-Fine

Key Specifications: Design Type: Indian Head / Buffalo Five-Cent Piece Quantity: 5 Coins Total Dates Present: (3) 1936 Strikes & (2) 1937 Strikes Mint Marks: Mixed / Philadelphia (No Mint Mark) strikes Composition: 75% Copper, 25% Nickel Weight / Diameter: 5.0 grams (per coin) / 21.2 mm Visual & Condition Analysis: Obverse Profiles: Feature James Earle Fraser’s iconic Native American chieftain portrait. The dates are bold and fully raised across all five specimens, escaping the heavy wear that frequently slicks the dates on earlier issues in this series. The hair braids, feathers, and "LIBERTY" inscriptions show uniform, steady commercial circulation. Reverse Features: Showcase Black Diamond, the famous American bison, standing on a raised mound. The horn tips and tail details show expected flattening but remain clearly separated from the fields. The crucial "FIVE CENTS" denomination text line along the bottom rim is crisp and completely legible on all five coins. One 1937 reverse reveals a minor planchet lamination line or old contact hairline scuff under close lighting across the bison's flank. Grade Spectrum: Softly spanning between Very Good (VG) and Fine (F) details. Surfaces have aged to a highly appealing, uniform silver-pewter color without heavy rim dings, environmental pitting, or artificial chemical cleaning.
