Buffalo nickels are a series of five-cent coins struck by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. Designed by James Earle Fraser, they feature a Native American profile on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse. Buffalo nickels are popular with collectors, and some dates and varieties can be quite valuable.
The most valuable Buffalo nickels are typically those that were struck in the early years of the series, before the dies had worn down. These coins often have sharp details and a strong strike. Some of the most valuable dates include the 1913 Type 1, the 1913-S Type 2, and the 1916-D.
