Last Buffalo Nickel - First Jefferson Nickel
Last Buffalo Nickel - First Jefferson Nickel This is a set of the last Buffalo Nickel and the first Jefferson Nickel. Interestingly, both coins were struck in the same year - 1938. On rare occasions, the U.S. Mint strikes two different designs of the same denomination in the same year.The classic and beloved Buffalo Nickel was minted from 1913-1938. The coin was designed by famous sculptor James Earle Fraser. The beautiful design is a unique celebration ofWild Westculture and heritage. The front is a composite portrait of three Native American chiefs Iron Tail a Sioux who fought against Custer at Little Bighorn and who was a star in Buffalo Bill s Wild West show , Two Moons a Cheyenne who also fought at Little Bighorn , and movie star John Big Tree a Seneca . The back features Black Diamond, a buffalo that was a star attraction at the New York Zoological Gardens. The Buffalo nickel had long been difficult to produce, and after it completed the 25-year term during which it could only be replaced by Congress, the Mint moved quickly to replace it with a new design. The Mint conducted a design competition in early 1938, requiring that Jefferson be depicted on the obverse, and Jefferson s house Monticello on the reverse. The coin was designed by Felix Schlag, who won a national competition and received a 1,000 prize, but was required to submit an entirely new reverse and make other changes before the new piece went into production in October 1938.
