@easternnumismatic: ✨The key date that defines the Buffalo Nickel series... Meet the 1926-S Buffalo Nickel✨ Struck at the San Francisco Mint, the 1926-S Buffalo Nickel is widely recognized as the key date of the series. With the lowest regular-issue mintage of any Buffalo Nickel, it has become one of the most important coins in twentieth-century American numismatics. Key Facts & Highlights: Date: 1926 Mint: San Francisco, "S" mintmark Composition: 75% copper, 25% nickel Designer: James Earle Fraser Mintage: 970,000, the lowest regular-issue Buffalo Nickel Collector Significance: The defining key date of the Buffalo Nickel series, with well-struck examples especially difficult to find While the 1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel is one of the series' most famous varieties, the 1926-S is the coin that collectors recognize as the true regular-issue key date. Its combination of low mintage and extensive circulation makes it one of the most challenging Buffalo Nickels to acquire in high grades. Which Buffalo Nickel would you rather add to your collection... the 1926-S or the 1937-D Three-Legged? #1926SBuffalo #BuffaloNickel #KeyDateCoins #NickelCollecting #USCoins #CoinOfTheWeek
