The Buffalo Nickel, introduced in 1913, was part of President Theodore Roosevelt’s push to beautify American coinage. James Earle Fraser’s designs celebrated Native American culture and the American West, departing from more traditional motifs. Proof issues of this series, like the 1914, were struck in very limited numbers for collectors, making them highly prized today.
Collectibility:
With only 1,275 proofs struck in 1914, this issue is rare in any grade. At NGC PF 67, the coin ranks among the finest known survivors, exhibiting remarkable surfaces and exceptional eye appeal. High-grade proof Buffalo Nickels are coveted for their artistry, scarcity, and historic value, making this piece an elite addition to any advanced numismatic collection.
