1913 Denver Mint (D) Buffalo Nickel Variety 1 Very Good (G)to Very Good (VG) Condition.  No Mint mark indicates it was minted at the Philadelphia mint.

These pieces are known as Buffalo or Indian Head Nickels. In the first year of issue, 1913, there were two distinct varieties (or types), the Variety 1 shows the bison on a mound, and the Variety 2 shows the base redesigned to a thinner, straight-line.

James Earle Fraser designed this nickel, employing three different Native Americans as models. His initial F is beneath the date. The Bison was supposedly modeled after "Black Diamond" in the New York Central Park Zoo.
