No no no. The last year for buffalo nickels was 1938, and nickels have NEVER been made of gold.
No. The US did not make any gold coins for circulation after 1933. There are no gold nickels.
Please check again and post a new question. Buffalo* nickels were minted from 1913 to 1938, and in any case the US didn't mint any nickels until 1866. [*] Nickels depicting an Indian head on one side and a buffalo on the other are called Indian head nickels OR buffalo nickels, but not "buffalo head" nickels because they show the entire buffalo, not just its head.
Buffalo nickels don't contain any silver.
No Buffalo nickels were struck in silver, only the Jefferson "War Nickels" from 1942 to 1945 have any silver in them.
It's either "Indian head" or "buffalo", but not "buffalo head". Buffalo nickels show the whole animal! All buffalo nickels are made of the same 25% nickel / 75% copper alloy used in modern nickels. Internet rumors notwithstanding, NO buffalo nickels ever contained any silver.
Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made of silver. All buffalo nickels are made of the same 25% nickel / 75% copper alloy used in modern nickels. Internet rumors notwithstanding, NO buffalo nickels ever contained any silver.
No Buffalo nickels were struck in silver, only the Jefferson "War Nickels" from 1942 to 1945 have any silver in them.
None. The only nickels with any silver in them were made from 1942 to 1945.
None, because all buffalo nickels are made of the same 75% copper / 25% nickel alloy as current US nickels. The only US nickels that ever contained any silver were special "war nickels" made during 1942-45.
F is not a mint mark on any buffalo (nor any other) nickel, though the buffalo nickel was designed by one J.E. Fraser. In 1923, there were 35.7 million nickels minted in Philadelphia, with another 6.1 million in San Francisco, but none in Denver.
No nickel has ever been made of gold. You may have one that has been plated or it may be toned a gold color. Either way it's bad. Gold plating kills the collectible value of any coin. And for buffalo nickels, gold or blue toning means it's been chemically cleaned at some point. Unfortunately it's just a nickel.
Please check your coin again and post a new, separate question.There aren't any "buffalo head" nickels. They're called Indian head OR buffalo nickels and show the entire animal, not just its head.There aren't any from 1891, either. The first Indian head nickels were minted in 1913. An 1891 nickel would be a Liberty head nickel.
