"1933" Indian Head Buffalo (Bison) "Hobo" Nickel, MS-65, Satin Finish, Broad-Strike

Broad-struck over genuine Indian Head "Buffalo" (Bison) nickel. Housed in a non-PVC "flip" holder with certificate. Final mintage (of all issues combined): 382.

The US Mint produced Indian Head Bison nickels from 1913 to 1938. However, no nickels were minted or dated 1933. These are over-struck on genuine Indian Head Bison nickels, (no metal is added or removed). They have the correct metallic content (no heating or melting is performed), and correct diameter. All the over-strikes are privately and painstakingly performed using a surplus Denver Mint coin press !

NOTE: Defacing of US coins is legal so long as the defacement isn't for fraudulent purposes.

By purchasing one or more of these coins, the buyer agrees to provide full disclosure of their origin when reselling them. Failure to provide potential buyers with complete and accurate information when offering these coins could result in criminal and/or civil fraud charges. In other words, don't even think about trying to sell these to unaware buyers as original 1933 Indian Head Bison nickels !

The pictures accurately show what the coins look like. No photo editing was performed. There may be subtle differences between coins. Since they are over-struck on existing coins, there may be faint evidence of the original coin design showing since the overstrike is usually not perfectly aligned with the original strike. Do not attempt to use these as legal tender.
