<B>1913 5C Type One MS68 <img border='0' src='http://www.heritagecoins.com/images/star.gif' width=10 height=10> NGC.</B></I> Exquisite orange, lemon, and lime iridescence endow this lustrous and well preserved Superb Gem. The centers are exactingly struck, and only the tops of LIBERTY and the curve of the tail lack absolute definition. The date and the Indian's profile exhibit faint strike doubling.<BR> Noted sculptor James E. Fraser designed the Buffalo nickel. The first type, issued only in 1913, featured a textured field and a raised mount beneath the bison. Since the mound allowed the denomination to wear, it was recessed for the Type Two design, issued later in 1913. But the Mint neglected to recess the Indian's shoulder, where the date was located, and well-circulated examples of either type are often dateless. Census: 2 in 68 S, 0 finer (9/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> James E.
