Ask is what sellers were asking on active eBay listings of certified coins, fixed-price only — not what a coin sold for, and not our valuation. With enough listings at a grade, it's the middle 50% of their asking prices; with only a few, each asking price is shown. A single listing is shown only when its seller has an established eBay account with strong feedback. Sample is the number of listings behind each figure. Grades shown without a designation are plain examples.

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.".
