Buffalo Nickels, also known as Indian Head Nickels, were minted in the United States from 1913 to 1938. The 1935 Buffalo Nickel, struck in San Francisco (with the mintmark "S"), is particularly sought after by collectors due to its lower mintage compared to other years. These coins feature a Native American profile on the obverse and a buffalo on the reverse, representing American heritage and history. The 5-cent denomination is significant in showcasing early 20th-century American artistry in coin design.
