Buffalo Nickels, officially known as the Indian Head nickel, were produced by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. The 1918 Buffalo Nickel was minted at the San Francisco Mint and is notable for its distinctive design featuring a Native American on the obverse and a bison on the reverse. Coins from this era are sought after by collectors for their historical significance and aesthetic appeal, with certain dates and mint marks, like the 1918-S, being particularly desirable due to lower mintage figures.
