The Buffalo Nickel, officially known as the Indian Head nickel, was minted by the United States from 1913 to 1938, featuring the iconic design of a Native American on the obverse and a bison on the reverse. The 1926 Buffalo Nickel, particularly the San Francisco mint variety, is notable among collectors for its relatively low mintage and higher demand. This nickel, along with the earlier Half Dime and other denominations like the five-cent coin, is sought after for its historical significance and numismatic value. Collectible coins often vary in condition, rarity, and provenance, impacting their market value.
