1935 Buffalo Nickel 5C – PCGS Genuine Fine Details (Cleaned) | Classic Early U.S. Coin
“A true one-of-a-kind piece in our inventory — once sold, it may not be available again.”
This 1935 Buffalo Nickel, certified by PCGS as Genuine Fine Details (92 – Cleaned), is a classic example of one of the most iconic designs in American coinage. Part of the Buffalo Nickel series (1913–1938), this coin captures the spirit of early 20th-century America with its bold and distinctly American imagery.
Graded as Fine (F) Details, this coin retains moderate detail with visible design features, including clearer definition in the Native American portrait and the buffalo on the reverse. While it has been noted as cleaned, it remains a genuine collectible piece and offers an affordable entry point into this highly popular series.
Designed by James Earle Fraser, the obverse features a composite portrait of Native American chiefs, while the reverse showcases a powerful American bison. These coins are widely admired for their artistic design and historical symbolism.
The 1935 issue is one of the later dates in the Buffalo Nickel series, produced during the final years before the transition to the Jefferson Nickel in 1938. Certified by PCGS, this coin provides authenticity and makes a great addition for collectors seeking a vintage U.S. coin with strong visual appeal and historical significance.
