Buffalo Nickels, officially known as the Indian Head Nickel, were minted in the United States from 1913 to 1938. The 1937 Philadelphia issue is particularly notable for its design featuring a Native American on the obverse and a bison on the reverse. The coin's composition is 75% copper and 25% nickel, and it was produced in large quantities, making it relatively accessible to collectors. Variants exist, such as the 1937-D Three-legged Nickel, which is highly sought after due to its rarity.
