Buffalo Nickels, officially known as the Five Cents coin minted by the United States from 1913 to 1938, feature a Native American on the obverse and a bison on the reverse. The design, created by James Earle Fraser, is celebrated for its historical significance and artistic merit. In 1917, Buffalo Nickels continued to be produced, and specific varieties from this year may hold additional value among collectors depending on their condition and mint mark. These coins are primarily sought after for their unique imagery and low mintage.
