History
Proof striking (TYPE 2). Proofs were struck for collectors and sold separately from circulating coinage; this is a distinct coin from the 1913 Buffalo Nickel. Mintage from the source: "It's possible that not all of the 1,514 pieces struck were actually sold, the remainder being melted at the end of the year.".
