1930-S Buffalo Nickel 5C Coin

Description

The Buffalo Nickel is one of the most popular coins ever produced by the US Mint. These coins were made during the early parts of the 20^th century and were utilized by US citizens more than most other coins being circulated at the time. These coins are relevant today because collectors are constantly looking to add them to their collection.

The interesting aspect of the Buffalo Nickel coin series is that with each new, annual release came three different types of Nickel. This simple fact makes collecting these coins extremely difficult. Add the fact that not many of these coins have survived the years in great condition, and you have a large amount of collectors looking to acquire a relatively small number of coins.
