The 1913 Buffalo Nickel (Type 2) was struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a recorded mintage of 29,857,186 coins — the 50th-lowest of the 64 circulation-strike issues in the buffalo nickel series, and 41% of the 73,656,186 buffalo nickels the Mint produced across all facilities in 1913.
The corrected design arrives mid-year - the mound flattened, FIVE CENTS sunk into a recess, and the series' first lesson taught: raised inscriptions do not survive pockets.
