"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.

About polished aluminum Prints
Our polished aluminum prints are crafted using an innovative process that infuses dyes directly into specially coated aluminum sheets. Because the image becomes part of the surface, rather than sitting on top of it, the result is an almost magical luminescence.
Built to last, the ultra-hard, scratch-resistant surface is both waterproof and weatherproof, allowing for effortless cleaning and care. While these prints thrive in well-lit spaces, we recommend avoiding direct sunlight—just as you would with any fine art piece.
