Buffalo Nickels, officially known as the Indian Head nickel, were minted by the United States from 1913 to 1938. The 1913 Buffalo Nickel, particularly the San Francisco mint version (S mint mark), is highly sought after by collectors due to its limited mintage and historical significance. These coins feature a Native American chief on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse, reflecting a tribute to the American West. The 1913 San Francisco Buffalo Nickel is particularly prized for its rarity, condition, and the aesthetic appeal of its design.
