Issued in 2001 to commemorate the opening of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian, this immensely popular proof issue sold out from the U.S. Mint in just 14 days! The repeat of James Earle Fraser’s classic Buffalo Nickel design captivated the American public and has proved to be one of the most popular modern commemorative coins ever minted. This finest-quality proof features deep-struck engravings with frosted finishes, contrasting with mirror backgrounds.
