1937 D Buffalo Nickel BU

These pieces are often known as Buffalo or Indian Head nickels. In the first year of issue, 1913, there were two distinct varieties, the first showing the bison on a mound, and the second with the base redesigned to a thinner, straight line. James Earle Fraser designed this nickel, employing three different Native Americans as models. His initial F is beneath the date. The bison was supposedly modeled after "Black Diamond" in the New York Central Park Zoo
