Best Answer

It looks like a nickel with a picture of a buffalo on one side.

The front shows a picture of a Native American chief. The image is based on a composite of at least 3 different men.

Buffalo nickels were minted from 1913 to 1938. Very few are rare, except for the following:

  • 1913-D or S "type II" coins, with the buffalo on a low-rise mound of earth similar to that used on later dates.
  • Overdates, where a die was re-engraved or re-punched: 1914 over 1913; 1916 over the same date, and 1918 over 1917
  • 1937-D with a 3-legged buffalo, due to overpolishing of the reverse die. Beware of counterfeits made from normal 37-Ds by removing one leg using jeweller's tools.
