The 1931-S Buffalo Nickel is widely recognized as a Key Date in the series and the rarest regular-issue nickel of the 1930s. With a mintage of only 1,200,000 pieces, it ranks as the second lowest of the entire Buffalo Nickel series, making it highly sought after by collectors. This low-mintage rarity ensures its place as a cornerstone in U.S. numismatic history.

Struck at the San Francisco Mint during the height of the Great Depression, this coin tells the story of economic struggle and resilience. While many were preserved early due to its recognized scarcity, examples in Fine to Very Fine (F/VF) condition remain desirable and increasingly difficult to find.

Even in this mid-grade range, the 1931-S showcases bold artistry with strong details on the Native American portrait and the iconic American Bison. Its enduring eye appeal and historical significance cement its position as one of the most important issues for collectors.

For those seeking to complete their Buffalo Nickel collection, the 1931-S is an absolute must-have Key Date. Its combination of rarity, beauty, and collector demand makes it a standout addition to any U.S. coin collection.
