Buffalo Nickels, officially known as Indian Head Nickels, were minted in the United States from 1913 to 1938. The 1928 San Francisco Mint issue is notable for its low mintage, with only 1.5 million coins produced. This rarity, combined with the coin's iconic design featuring a Native American on the obverse and a buffalo on the reverse, contributes to its popularity among collectors. The 5-cent denomination also holds historical significance, representing the early 20th-century American culture and values.
