You will enjoy assembling the entire set, choosing the grade that works for your set, and your budget.

First struck in 1913, the Buffalo (or Indian Head) Nickel was a fitting tribute to the native American. Only in the first year 1913 were there two distinct varieties for this very collectible coin, a Buffalo on Mound, and a Buffalo on Plain. We love collecting this series and are pleased to offer defect-free examples at exceptional prices! On the obverse is the powerful bust of an Indian, with the Buffalo or Bison on the reverse. The series continued through 1938, when it was replaced with the Jefferson Nickel.
