UNITED STATES: 5 cents, 1913, PCGS graded MS64, Buffalo type I, in OGH PCGS "rattler" GEN-1.2 holder. James Earle Fraser's new nickel debuted in late winter of 1913 amid much fanfare. Most Americans found favor with the design, and huge numbers of these coins were saved as souvenirs. This hoarding only increased when the reverse was modified a few months later. As in 1883, rumors spread that the original issue would be recalled which, of course, was not the case.
