Buffalo Nickels, officially known as the Indian Head nickel, were minted in the United States from 1913 to 1938. The 1937 Buffalo Nickel, particularly from the San Francisco mint, is notable for its limited mintage and distinct design featuring a Native American on the obverse and an American bison on the reverse. The 5c denomination has become a popular collectible item, especially in higher grades, due to its historical significance and aesthetic appeal. Collectors often seek out the 1937-S variety for its relatively lower production numbers compared to other years.
