The 1929-D Buffalo nickel is common in lower circulated grades and scarcer in better grades. It has a mintage of 8,370,000, though not a huge supply of specimens in MS65 or better. While one of the toughest Denver-minted issues in the series at any point after 1928, it’s not nearly as rare as most of the earlier mintmarked issues.
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.
