Buffalo Nickels, officially known as the Indian Head Nickel, were minted by the United States from 1913 to 1938. The 5-cent coin features a depiction of a Native American on the obverse and a bison on the reverse. The 1916 Denver issue is notable among collectors due to its lower mintage and distinctive design, making it a sought-after item in the Buffalo Nickel series. Collectors often focus on condition, die varieties, and mint marks when evaluating these coins.
