Historical Significance — Why Collect
Sculptor James Earle Fraser’s Buffalo Nickel captures America’s frontier spirit with its composite Native American portrait and majestic plains bison. Struck just two years before the series ended in 1938, the 1936-S combines late-series status with strong collector demand. Near-gem coins like this MS64 sit in the upper tier of the CACG census and are ideal for registry projects or standout type sets.
