Buffalo Nickels, also known as Indian Head Nickels, were minted in the United States from 1913 to 1938. The 1924 Philadelphia issue is notable for its design featuring a Native American chief on the obverse and a buffalo on the reverse. These coins have a denomination of 5 cents and are composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Collectors value Buffalo Nickels for their artistic design and historical significance, with certain years and mint marks being rarer than others. The 1924 Philadelphia Mint variety, without a mintmark, is among the more common issues in the series.
