With the third-lowest mintage in the series, the 1914 proof Buffalo nickel is one of the scarcer entries for this five-cent type. Only 1,275 were struck, with perhaps 1,000 to 1,100 surviving 1914 proof Buffalo nickels. There are many Gem specimens available up through PR67. Registry set collectors bid enter strong bids for the opportunity to grab one of the few surviving PR68 specimens, presently representing the highest grade awarded to this coin by any of the top-tier grading firms.
Obverse Description
