1937-S Buffalo Nickel – NGC MS66 – Lustrous Gem from the Final Year
Offered is a stunning 1937-S Buffalo Nickel, graded MS66 by NGC, showcasing the iconic design of James Earle Fraser in near-top condition. Struck in San Francisco during the final year of the series, this coin represents the culmination of one of America’s most beloved and artistically significant coin designs.
The Buffalo Nickel (1913–1938) features a powerful Native American portrait on the obverse and a majestic American bison on the reverse — symbols of strength, heritage, and the frontier spirit. High-grade survivors like this MS66 example are increasingly hard to find, especially from the San Francisco Mint, which had a relatively lower mintage.

‘’I had gone to a couple of other places and they weren’t the nicest people and were trying to rip me off. The people at copper state were very knowledgeable and kind. They taught me a lot along the way too. Mike and Ivy were big helps in my situation. The place is also very organized, clean and they were professional!! I recommend you go here! I will be back!’’
‘’Very nice and pleasant experience. Mike, the owner took time to show me some very cool things!! He also spent time to educate me about things I wanted to know and answered all my silly questions too! (And there were a LOT of them!!) I am really going to enjoy this shop and look forward to returning again and again. Mike is fair, honest, respectful, and kind. What more could you ask for?’’
‘’First time visit to the shop was great! All were fun to talk with friendly to work with and outstanding to do business with. I was looking for some specific items. They went above and beyond to double check inventory not under glass. Boy, did they make my day. Not only did they find, it but they gave me the best deal in town. I will be back again! Thank you Mike! Copper State is a new spot for me now.’’
‘’Found a couple of the 2009 Formative Years” I have been looking for. Came to Copperstate Coins responding to an ad not knowing they were a coin dealer. Met with Ivy to pick up my rolls. All in the store were extremely polite not pushy helpful and I left with more than I came in for. Without a doubt greatest place to go if you’re just getting into the hobby, which I am, I will be a frequent customer. Thank you!!’’
‘’This company needs an option for more than 5 starts, how about 10!? Customer service is AMAZING , they are outstanding in every single way! Since using this company, I have had 10 or more people I referred them to, and same outcome. No doubt, zero disappointment.’’
