Buffalo Nickels, officially known as the Indian Head Nickel, were minted in the United States from 1913 to 1938. The 1926 Buffalo Nickel, produced in San Francisco, is part of the series known for its iconic design featuring a Native American on the obverse and a buffalo on the reverse. The coin's composition is 75% copper and 25% nickel, and it has fetched various prices among collectors depending on its grade and condition. San Francisco mint marks are often more sought after due to lower mintage figures compared to other mint locations.
