“Western Rarity: The 1913-S Indian Head Nickel”
"Western Rarity: The 1913-S Indian Head Nickel" is a breathtaking depiction of one of the most coveted coins in American numismatic history. This artwork brings to life the 1913-S Indian Head Nickel, also known as the Buffalo Nickel, celebrated for its unique design and historical significance.
As the artist, I was thrilled to revisit my original monochrome drawings of the 1913 Buffalo nickel and experiment with color overlays to create a rich, textured piece. By layering colors and carefully balancing hues, I aimed to capture the intricate details and subtle nuances of this rare coin. The addition of an "S" mint mark on the reverse adds a touch of authenticity, transforming this piece into a stunning representation of the 1913-S Buffalo nickel.
I'm delighted with the outcome, as the colors and textures have blended together to create a remarkably realistic effect. This piece has become one of my personal favorites, and I'm pleased to see that it resonates with collectors and enthusiasts alike.
