1914 NGC PF66 CAC Color

1914 Buffalo Nickel – NGC Proof 66 CAC – Beautiful Original Color

The 1914 Buffalo Nickel Proof is a magnificent example of one of America's most iconic coin designs, created by renowned sculptor James Earle Fraser. Introduced in 1913, the Buffalo Nickel features a powerful Native American portrait on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse, capturing the spirit and heritage of the American West. Unlike the brilliant, mirrorlike Proof coins familiar to many collectors, early Buffalo Nickel Proofs were produced with a distinctive matte or satinlike finish, giving them a soft, textured appearance that beautifully complements Fraser's sculptural design. With a remarkably low original mintage of just 1,275 Proof coins, the 1914 issue is a scarce and highly desirable example of this short-lived Proof series.

This exceptional specimen has been certified NGC Proof 66 (Gem Proof) and carries the prestigious CAC approval, confirming its superior quality for the assigned grade. Particularly appealing is its beautiful color, an attribute highly prized by collectors of early 20th-century matte Proof coinage. Original toning can enhance the subtle surfaces and intricate details of these specially prepared coins, creating an extraordinary visual presentation. Combining a low Proof mintage, outstanding preservation, attractive coloration, and CAC approval, this 1914 Buffalo Nickel represents an exceptional opportunity to own a remarkable piece of American numismatic artistry and history.
