The coin needs to be seen for a accurate assessment. All 1825 Capped Bust Quarters are overdates, meaning the dies from previous years were reused and the dates on them recut, when used in 1825 slight traces of a 2, 3, or 4 can be seen under the 5 in the 1825 date and values are different for each of the 3 numbers under the 5.
A) The buffalo nickel design was not introduced until 1913B) The buffalo design does not show the head of a buffalo, it shows the entire animal.If you are referring to a 1911 Liberty nickel, its retail value is $3 to $20 depending on condition.If you are referring to a Buffalo nickel (also called an Indian head nickel) you can find a range of values at this site, among others:
Current retail values for a 1937-D buffalo nickel with three legs range from $500 if very worn, up to about $1200 in AU condition. However you would need to have the coin examined in person because there are many counterfeits made by removing the leg from a normal nickel using jeweller's tools.
The "3-Legged" variety is only known from the Denver Mint. So the coin will have a "D" mintmark on the reverse under FIVE CENTS. No one knows exactly how many authentic examples of this famous error were struck.
About $1 in average condition, $2 or 3 if it's only slightly worn.
There are a couple on Ebay for between $1,300 and $1,600
The design only shows 3 legs on all the coins, it's face value.
If the date isn't visible the coin is considered a "cull" with little or no value. The missing leg may be due to wear rather than being a true mint error. That occurred only on 1937-D buffalo nickels and very few coins from that year are so worn that the date is no longer visible.
