Buffalo Nickel

The Buffalo nickel is the United States five-cent coin struck from 1913 to 1938, with a Native American portrait on the front and a bison on the back. Lens Scan users have photographed it 759 times, and most of those photos show a circulated coin, often with a faint or missing date. This guide covers where the mint mark is, how to tell a common date from a key date, and what a worn example is really worth.
