Designed by James Earle Fraser, also called the Indian Head Nickel, the Buffalo nickel features a profile of a Native American on the obverse and a buffalo on the reverse. The correct name for this coin series is the Five-Cent Indian Head, but the true Buffalo Nickel aficionado has a dislike for that name. It is, and always will be the Buffalo Nickel. Technically, it is a bison on the reverse, not a buffalo. As early as April in 1913 the rapid wear in the area of “FIVE CENTS” on the reverse became evident, and the re-designed Type II reverse replace the Type I “Buffalo on the mound”. This solved the reverse wear problem, but the problem of the date wearing down too rapidly on the obverse was never addressed. This oversight has resulted in many millions upon millions of dateless Buffalo Nickels, mostly effecting the early to mid-dates; 1913-1927. Often, dateless buffalo nickels can have their dates "restored" by applying a ferric-chloride solution to the date area. We will start at just $9.99 and there will be NO RESERVE. -R read more
