The 1935-D Buffalo nickel is not a categorically scarce coin, but it is the scarcest regular-issue piece among the Buffalo nickels struck from 1935 through 1938. PCGS and NGC have graded less than a combined two dozen examples in MS67 and NGC has slabbed only one graded MS68.
Obverse Description
James Earle Fraser's famous and simple design depicts a Native American chief with the word LIBERTY from 1-2 o'clock. The date is placed on the lower left of the chieftain's bust.
Reverse Description
A full portrait of the bison, Black Diamond, with the words UNITED STATES oF AMERICA at the top periphery with the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM just underneath. The denomination FIVE CENTS is spelled out at the bottom. For the Type 1, the denomination is embossed on a flat surface.
