Nope, there has never been one ever authenticated.
Wanna check that date again? The first US nickels were made in 1866 and buffalo nickels were only struck from 1913 to 1938. There were no buffalo nickels made in 1827. Check with a pro. coin dealer to make sure it is real.
The coins are also called buffalo nickels but none of them were struck in silver.
The horn tip is in the same place on the buffalo's head on all buffalo nickels, almost directly above its eye, where the horn would protrude from the animal's skull in real life. Unfortunately design problem caused the horn to wear off rather quickly so most circulated buffalo nickels show at most a partial horn. If all of your buffalo nickels are too worn to see the horn easily, you can use any search engine to look for images of unworn coins. E.g. search for "buffalo nickel pictures" or "buffalo nickel images".
Probably a couple of dollars in a gift or novelty shop, unless it's made of some kind of precious metal which should be indicated somewhere on the coin. All genuine buffalo nickels are the same size as modern US nickels, but many companies make replicas that are much larger or smaller than the real thing.
No, Nickels are made from a mixture of 25% Nickel and 75% Copper.
20 nickels in 1 dollar. So 100 x 20 = 2000 nickels
of course. ~koЯn~
no they are not real they are all fake
It's very likely your coin is a novelty or gift item. All genuine buffalo nickels are the same size, weight, and composition as modern Jefferson nickels. A number of companies make replicas of famous-date American coins but they're either much larger or smaller than their real counterparts to prevent them from being considered as counterfeits. Some are large enough (~100 mm) to be used as coasters!
actually yes there ARE two headed people on earth
Yes he is.
The size and the word COPY should be a flag. The word COPY is legally required to appear on replicas of US coins, and in any case all buffalo nickels are the same size as current Jefferson nickels. There are a lot of private companies that make replica coins in many different sizes ranging from buttons to dinner plates. They sell in gift and novelty shops for a few dollars but aren't real coins.
