Collectible coins are categorized based on their historical significance, rarity, and demand among collectors. The United States five-cent nickel, commonly known as the Buffalo Nickel, features a design that showcases an American bison on one side and a Native American profile on the other. The Buffalo Nickel was minted from 1913 to 1938, with the 1923 Philadelphia Mint issue being particularly noted for its lower mintage and higher collector interest. The term "Half Dime" refers to earlier five-cent coins made in silver before the nickel was introduced. These distinctions make such coins highly sought after in numismatic circles.
