Buffalo Nickel Values
The Buffalo Nickel (or more correctly the Five-Cent Indian Head) was minted by the
United States government from 1913-1938. No Buffalo nickels were made in 1922, 1932, or 1933. The coin series
has a number of varieties sought after by collectors, most notably: the1916/1916 doubled die obverse; the 1918/7-
D doubled die obverse over-date; the 1935 doubled die reverse; and the 1937-D 3-Legged Buffalo. Collectors
should note that many of these coins suffer from poor strike. Even uncirculated coins may show poor detail. Well
struck coins command a significant premium.

These prices for Buffalo Nickels are provided as a service to Hobbizine readers. They are derived from numerous

values as a guideline for evaluating the reasonableness of dealer prices, setting up trades with other collectors,
and estimating the worth of your collection.
Some notes about grading:

 G - Good: Major design elements are outlined but details are gone; the date may not be sharp (but should
be readable) and the rim may not be complete.
 VG - Very Good: Major design elements, letters and numerals are worn but clear.
 F - Fine: Major elements are still clear but details are worn away.
 VF - Very fine: Light even wear on high points, all lettering and design details are sharp.
 XF - Extremely Fine: All design details are sharp; some mint luster remains.
 UNC – Uncirculated: No wear at all; there may be some contact marks and there may be some dulling of
the luster.
 BU – Brilliant Uncirculated: a perfect coin with bright consistent luster and no scratches or contact
marks.
 MS-65 - Mint State: These are prices for coins that have been certified a "65" by a third party grading
company.
