1916-S Buffalo Nickel – Type 2 – Good (G)
A scarce and highly collectible 1916-S Buffalo Nickel Type 2, featuring the classic Native American obverse and American bison reverse. The Type 2 variety is distinguished by the recessed “FIVE CENTS” design beneath the bison. This circulated example is graded Good (G), showing substantial wear consistent with its age while retaining the major design elements. The 1913-S Type 2 is an important variety for Buffalo Nickel collectors and a desirable addition to an early U.S. coin collection.
