1929-D NGC MS63 CAC

1929-D NGC MS63 CAC

The 1929-D Buffalo Nickel, graded NGC MS63 with a CAC endorsement, is a vibrant example of one of America’s most beloved coin designs. Struck at the Denver Mint during the late years of the series, this piece retains strong luster and sharp detail for the grade, with the iconic James Earle Fraser design depicting a Native American profile on the obverse and a mighty American bison on the reverse. The “D” mintmark, located beneath the denomination “FIVE CENTS,” signifies its Rocky Mountain origins. The CAC sticker affirms that this coin meets the strictest standards for quality within the MS63 grade, making it an attractive choice for collectors seeking premium eye appeal.

The year 1929 holds deep historical significance. It marked the onset of the Great Depression, as the U.S. stock market crash in October sent shockwaves across the global economy. Despite the turmoil, coinage production continued, with the Denver Mint striking just over 8.3 million Buffalo Nickels that year. These coins would have circulated heavily during a time when every nickel carried real purchasing power — buying a loaf of bread or a quart of milk. A 1929-D in mint state, especially with CAC approval, is a survivor from a pivotal year in American history, offering both numismatic beauty and a tangible connection to a world on the brink of economic upheaval.
