The Buffalo Nickel, officially known as the Indian Head Nickel, features a Native American on the obverse and a buffalo on the reverse. Produced by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938, it was designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser. The 1927 Denver Mint variety is notable for its lower mintage compared to other years, making it a sought-after collectible among numismatists. The coin is composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel and has a denomination of 5 cents. Collectors often seek out Buffalo Nickels in good condition, with higher grades commanding premium prices.
