The Buffalo Nickel
(also known as the Indian Head Nickel) was first minted for regular use in U.S.coinage in 1913 and became very popular with the general public.The coin was designed by James Earle Fraser,a noted artist with a keen interest in native culture.His initial "F" appears below the date on the coin.
The design depicts a realistic portrait of an American Indian on the obverse of the coin along with the word "Liberty" along the rim.The reverse of the coin features a magnificent buffalo and the words FIVE CENTS on a raised mound on which the buffalo stands.The coin is unique inasmuch as no other regular issue U.S.coin has ever featured an animal (other than the eagle) as a part of its main design.
The Buffalo Nickel is made of 75% copper and 25% nickel and the coin is about 21 mm in diameter.
The first Buffalo Nickels minted in 1913 were originally struck with a design that had the buffalo standing on a mound.These are referred to as Type 1 coins.Due to some production problems with this raised design,the design was changed and all future coins featured the buffalo standing on a flat plain.Coins with this latter design are referred to as Type 2 coins.
Buffalo Nickels continued to be minted annually after 1913 until 1938 - with the exception of the years 1922,1932 and 1933.Over 1 billion of these coins were minted during this time at various mint facilities including the Philadelphia,Denver,and San Francisco mints.The mintmark can be found on the reverse of the coin under the words FIVE CENTS.
The rarest Buffalo Nickel is the 1918/7-D overdate.Also scarce is the famous 1937D "three legged" variety.This variety was struck with a faulty die that removed the buffalo's front leg.Other hard to find dates include the Type 2 1913D and the Type 2 1913S.Very common dates (except for a few varieties) are the Buffalo Nickels minted from 1932 to 1938.For reasons that are not entirely clear,Buffalo Nickels made prior to 1930 are quite scarce in uncirculated condition.
In 1938,the Buffalo Nickel ceased production and was replaced the following year by a coin featuring the portrait of Thomas Jefferson.The Jefferson nickel is still in production today.
