1920 Buffalo Nickel. PCGS graded MS-66. Premium Quality. Boldly struck with nice toning on both sides. Nickel-white satin luster beneath very light toning skims along over both sides and is boldly displayed on this fresh-appearing 1920 Philadelphia Mint coin. The Type 2 design struck in 1913-38 has the bison standing on a straight platform whose base defines the recess for FIVE CENTS. The portrait and bison were notably modified from the Type 1 design by Charles E. Barber. Gone was much of the ruggedness of Black Diamond's hide, gone too were many details of the Indian's hair, wrinkles, and feathers. Fields are smoothed out. Some critics of the change to the Type 2 argue that these multiple minor changes greatly diluted the vigor of Fraser's original design. But this attractive MS66 1920 shows just how wrong their opinion is! Pop 111; 11 finer, 2 in 66+, 9 in 67. (PCGS # 3944) Estimated Value $750 - 800 The Gerald Forsythe Duplicate Buffalo Nickel Collection. Categories: Buffalo Nickels
