Bobby's Magic Nickel - 1913 was released on: USA: 23 July 1913
Buffalo nickels were minted between 1913 and 1938. The coin you are asking about is a Jefferson nickel with a bison reverse, part of the Westward Journey commemoratives. They are not rare and are worth face value.
Please check again and post a new question. Buffalo nickels were struck from 1913 to 1938. Any nickel dated 1939 would be a familiar Jefferson nickel. Look at the coin again, 1938 was the last year a Buffalo nickel was made.
Please check again and post a new question. Buffalo nickels were struck from 1913 to 1938. Any nickel dated 1945 would be a familiar Jefferson nickel, but made from a special alloy used during wartime.
1913-1938 are the years the us mint minted "buffalo" nickel's.. Only Jefferson nickels were minted in 1943. 1943 nickel is usually called a "War Nickel" (minted during war time w/ silver) Hope I didn't confuse the question...
Buffalo nickel was created in 1913.

Please check the coin again and post a new, separate question. Indian Head nickels were struck from 1913 to 1938. A 1943 nickel would have the familiar image of Thomas Jefferson on it.

Thomas Jefferson's first appearance on a U S Coin was on a One Dollar Gold commemorative dated 1903. Jefferson's image first appeared on a regular circulation coin in 1938, the familiar Jefferson nickel. He also was featured on some 2007 Presidential $1 coins, and is of course on the $2 bill.
No such coin. Buffalo Nickels are very different from war nickels. Buffalo (or Indian Head) nickels were struck from 1913-1938. The Jefferson nickel series started in 1938 but in the years of WW II nickel was needed for the war effort so the government replaced the nickel with silver in the Jefferson nickels from late in 1942 to 1945 creating what is now called "War Nickels" these coins are identified by large mint marks on the back of the coin above the dome of Monticello. The Jefferson nickel returned to the prewar composition in 1946 and is the same today.
