In 1913, the United States Mint released the Buffalo Nickel, ending the long run of the Liberty Head nickel that began in 1883. Designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser, the new coin introduced imagery centered on Native American life and the American frontier rather than classical European influences. This 1927 Buffalo Nickel offers refined attributes and quality craftsmanship that characterize the program’s well-established position at the mint during this era. Now, the 1927 Buffalo Nickel is available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1927 Buffalo Nickel is in Mint State 65 condition and showcases a very pleasing overall eye appeal. The coin may have a few small contact marks scattered throughout, with one or two larger marks also possible. It may also feature a few scattered hairlines, with only light scuff marks on the highest points of the design.
The obverse of the 1927 Buffalo Nickel shows a right-facing profile portrait of a Native American man, featuring braided hair and feathers. Fraser explained that the design was created using features from Iron Tail, Two Moons, and John Big Tree, although historians continue to debate this account. The word “LIBERTY” appears to the left of the portrait, with the date located beneath it.
The reverse of the 1927 Buffalo Nickel Coin depicts an American bison standing on a mound, representing the wildlife of the western United States. The design was inspired by Black Diamond, a bison housed at the Central Park Zoo in New York. The inscription “FIVE CENTS” is positioned along the bottom edge, while “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM” complete the design.
The 1927 Buffalo Nickel represents a mid-series issue from a year when production occurred at all three active minting facilities: Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. This date is generally available to collectors in most grades, though finding sharply struck examples with full details on the bison’s head and the Native American’s features can prove challenging. The 1927 issue lacks the extreme rarity of some other dates in the Buffalo Nickel series, making it accessible to collectors building type sets.
