Collection: Buffalo Nickel

A Buffalo Nickel, officially the Indian Head Nickel, is a popular U.S. five-cent coin minted from 1913 to 1938, famous for its distinct design featuring a Native American chief on the front and an American bison (buffalo) on the back, designed by James Earle Fraser to capture the spirit of the American West. These copper-nickel coins are beloved by collectors for their artistry and historical significance, with some rare dates or errors being quite valuable.
