American Culture;The Buffalo Nickel;James Earle Fraser, a noted artist with a keen interest in native culture. His initial “F” appears below the date on the coin. The design depicts a realistic portrait of an American Indian on the obverse of the coin along with the word “Liberty” along the rim. The reverse of the coin features a magnificent buffalo and the words FIVE CENTS on a raised mound on which the buffalo stands.杰姆斯-厄尔-费雷泽，著名艺术家，在本土文化浓厚的兴趣。他最初的“F”出现在硬币上的日期。设计了一个逼真的肖像的硬币的正面是一个美国印第安连同字“自由”沿边缘。硬币的反面具有宏伟水牛和字五美分上升丘上的水牛站 。;The coin is unique inasmuch ([,?n?zm?t?] adv. 因…的原因) as no other regular issue U.S. coin has ever featured an animal (other than the eagle) as a part of its main design. The first Buffalo Nickels minted in 1913 were originally struck with a design that had the buffalo standing on a mound. These are referred to as Type 1 coins. Due to some production problems with this raised design, the design was changed and all future coins featured the buffalo standing on a flat plain. Coins with this latter design are referred to as Type 2 coins. 这枚硬币是独特的，因为没有像其他美国硬币都精选动物（除鹰）作为其主要的设计。第一布法罗尼克尔斯铸造1913达成了最初的设计那有水牛站在一堆。这些被称为1型硬币。由于此提出设计的一些生产问题，设计变更和未来所有的硬币精选水牛站在平坦的平原。硬币后者设计被称为2型硬币。;The mint [m?nt] mark can be found on the reverse of the coin under the words FIVE CENTS. The rarest Buffalo Nickel is the 1918/7-D over date. Also scarce [sk?rs] is the famous 1937D three legged variety. This variety was struck with a faulty die that removed the buffalos front leg. Other hard to find dates include the Type 2 1913D and the Type 2 1913S. Very common dates (except for a few varieties) are the Buffalo Nickels minted from 1932 to 1938. For reasons that are not entirely clear, Buffalo Nickels made prior to 1930 are quite scarce in uncirculated condition. In 1938, the Buffalo Nickel ceased production and was replaced the following year by a coin featuring the portrait of Thomas Jefferson. The Jefferson nickel is still in production today. 该印记上可以在五美分硬币的背??找到。最稀有的布法罗镍是1918 /D
