Buffalo Nickels, officially known as the Indian Head Nickel, were produced by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. The 1929 Buffalo Nickel, minted in San Francisco, is particularly sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades. These coins feature a depiction of a Native American chief on the obverse and a buffalo on the reverse. The San Francisco mint mark (S) indicates its place of production, adding to its collectible value. The 1929 issue is considered a key date in the series, influenced by its lower mintage compared to other years.
