The 615th CoinWeek Coin Giveaway

1936 Buffalo Nickel, certified MS-66 by NGC

For this week’s giveaway, CoinWeek is proud to offer a beautifully preserved 1936 Buffalo Nickel, certified MS-66 by NGC — a high-grade example of one of America’s most iconic and widely admired coin designs.

About the Coin

The 1936 Buffalo Nickel is part of the final stretch of the beloved series that ran from 1913 to 1938. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this issue features James Earle Fraser’s bold and uniquely American design: a Native American portrait on the obverse and a bison on the reverse, modeled after “Black Diamond,” a buffalo from the Central Park Zoo.

This particular example is NGC-certified MS-66, placing it near the top of the grading scale. With crisp detail, frosty luster, and minimal marks, it represents the coin as it would have looked fresh from the Mint — a rare and visually striking survivor from nearly 90 years ago.

Short History

Introduced in 1913, the Buffalo Nickel was designed to celebrate the American West and Indigenous heritage at a time when the nation was rapidly modernizing. Though beloved for its artistry, the coin proved difficult to strike sharply, especially around the date and horn — making fully struck and well-preserved examples like this 1936 MS-66 highly prized.

The year 1936 saw more than 118 million Buffalo Nickels minted in Philadelphia, but few survive in such exceptional condition. Most entered circulation and saw heavy use, making high-end Mint State coins like this one increasingly scarce.

Why This Coin is Desirable

• Classic American design with timeless appeal
• High-grade MS-66 certified by NGC
• Sharp strike and clean surfaces
• Near the end of the Buffalo Nickel series
• A perfect type coin or upgrade for advanced collectors

This 1936 Buffalo Nickel represents a chance to own a superb example of a truly American coin — bold, historic, and beautifully preserved.
