Buffalo Nickels, officially known as the Indian Head Nickel, were minted by the United States from 1913 to 1938. The 1918 San Francisco Mint strike is particularly noteworthy for collectors due to its lower mintage compared to other years. This coin features a Native American on the obverse and a buffalo on the reverse, making it a popular choice among numismatists. The five-cent denomination, often referred to as the nickel, is an essential part of American coinage history and includes various designs throughout its production.
