Buffalo Nickel History (1913-1938)
Buffalo nickels were struck from 1913 through 1938. They are among the most popular United States coins of the 20th century.  The coin depicts a Native American Chief on the obverse and an American bison (or "buffalo") on the reverse.  This five-cent coin is beloved for its classic Old West imagery.
In addition to its rugged design by James Earle Fraser, one of the many reasons the Buffalo nickel series has enjoyed timeless appeal is its numerous key dates, semi-keys, and varieties.
Buffalo nickels are sometimes known as "Native American Head Nickels" due to the composite portrait of an American Native Chief on the coin's obverse. This iconic design also appears on modern gold bullion coins called American Gold Buffaloes. The Gold Buffalo has been issued by the U.S. Mint each year since 2006.
