Its obverse features a Native American portrait, while the reverse shows an American bison—commonly called a buffalo—standing on a mound. The coin was made from a copper-nickel alloy containing 75% copper and 25% nickel. Fraser’s design reflected the early 20th-century interest in honoring the American West and the nation’s Indigenous and frontier history. The hand cut silhouette gives these earrings a distinctive, artisan-crafted appearance, while the original coin details preserve their vintage character. Natural variations in color, wear, texture, and patina make every pair unique. Turn a piece of early American coinage into a wearable conversation piece with these one-of-a-kind Buffalo nickel earrings, designed for anyone who loves meaningful jewelry, vintage details, and handmade craftsmanship.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mountianstruck Coin Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67605036630316,"sku":"9753","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9102\/9548\/files\/225f416b2f243d86ec215bd8ff43228a8200a443ecf215de7a24890a33e9d6c1.webp?v=1791921659","url":"https:\/\/1ff354-3.myshopify.com\/products\/mcj-u-s-buffalo-nickel-hand-cut-coin-earrings-patina","provider":"Northwest Native Expressions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
