Buffalo Nickels, officially known as the Indian Head Nickel, were produced by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. The 5-cent coin features a Native American on the obverse and a bison on the reverse. The 1916 San Francisco Mint issue is noteworthy for its lower mintage, making it a sought-after collectible among numismatists. Collectors often seek examples in high grades due to the coin's intricate designs and the wear from circulation that commonly affects them.
