The 1914 Buffalo nickel represents the first full year of Type 2 production. However, across the board, all 1914 Buffalo nickels are considerably scarce, including this Philadelphia-minted issue which saw a mintage of 20,664,463 pieces. There are about 12,000 known survivors for all grades, which is a remarkably small percentage of the issue’s overall mintage. However, there are an ample number of circulated specimens available for collectors. In the grades of MS65, the 1914 Buffalo nickel becomes fairly challenging. All examples are generally well struck, with uncirculated pieces exhibiting great color and luster.
