Buffalo Nickels, also known as Indian Head Nickels, were produced by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. The 5-cent coin features a Native American chief on the obverse and a bison on the reverse. The 1936 issue from the San Francisco Mint (S mint mark) is particularly sought after by collectors due to its lower mintage and the coin's historical significance. Its design, created by sculptor James Earle Fraser, captures the essence of American frontier life and has made it a popular choice among numismatists.
