This beautiful commemorative coin, when offered by the US Mint in a "coin and currency" set, was a complete sellout in only four days, and there is a highly active after-market among dealers and collectors alike. This new issue is designed after one of the most favored and sought after of all coins, the Buffalo nickel of 1913-38. Only minor modifications were made in the coin's motif as the new dollar coin was adopted, and the result is a sensational success."</p><p><br /></p><p>This new coin was minted in two formats: the circulation strike and the Proof. The term "circulation strike" is something of a misnomer in this case, of course, as the coin will never reach circulation due to its silver content and premium issue price.
