This is a 1913-D Type 1 Buffalo nickel as the buffalo stands on a mound. As such it is a one year design/type that is not very difficult to obtain in higher grades. The coin looks to have no marks and looks well struck with a split tail. It looks MS65 or higher, but the luster is not visible as I would expect, especially in the reverse. That may be the lighting or the pictures. Nice die crack between the L and I in LIBERTY.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS
THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Needs a title fix: "1913-D"

Not a bad looking coin though!

Interesting, yes. Mid-grade AU for me.
