Reverse: United States Of America Buffalo Portrait "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of Many, One)Five Cents 
Info: 
Renowned sculptor James Earle Fraser was fascinated by the American Indian, so much so that it was no surprise he chose an Indian motif for the 5-cent coin design. And the bison design for the reverse made a perfect companion image. It is arguably the most "American" of all United States coins and is a collector's favorite.

Dates of issue: 1913-1938. 
Engraver: Charles Barber.
Mint mark: No Mint Mark = Philadelphia Mint.
Condition: (F-12) Fine - Very worn, but wear is even and overall design elements stand out boldly. Almost fully-separated rims.
The Indian Head coins were notoriouly prone to wear, particularly the date and other elements such as the buffalo tail and horn, it was a known issue that was never fully rectified.
Price: R 150.00 Inc Vat.

(All pictures are of coins that are taken by my camera, differences in appearance are only due to different positions of the coin within the lightbox. Lighting can make a big difference in the outcome of pictures, I do not use picture editing to make any changes.)
