Buffalo Nickels, officially known as the Indian Head Nickel, were minted in the United States from 1913 to 1938. The coin features a Native American in profile on the obverse and a buffalo on the reverse. The 1915 Buffalo Nickel is particularly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and distinctive design. The coin is composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel, and its popularity is attributed to both its artistic representation and the mechanics of its minting process, which often led to wear and unique characteristics.
