Jefferson nickels dated before 1964 have the mint mark on the back, directly to the right of Monticello (except for the silver "war" nickels, where the mint mark is larger and above Monticello).
The first U.S. nickel was minted in 1866.
There is no such thing as an Indian head nickel minted in 1895. The first Indian head nickel was minted in 1913; prior to that was the Barber nickel, with the head of Liberty.
There is no such thing as an 1889 Buffalo Nickel. Buffalo nickels were only minted from 1913 to 1938. A nickel minted in 1889 would be a Liberty Head or "V" nickel.
They were minted at Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. They were minted in 1964.
The Buffalo Nickel was first minted in 1913 in an attempt to make United States currency more appealing to be seen. The biggest problem with the Buffalo Nickel was the fact that coins minted showed up with inconsistencies depending on when and where they were made.
Two US nickels have 13 stars on them. The "Shield" nickel minted from 1866 to 1883 and the "Liberty Head" nickel minted from 1883 to 1912. Both nickel types were minted in 1883.

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...

The first Indian Head/Buffalo Nickel was minted in Philadephia in the year 1913. The coin is actually called a buffalo nickel or an Indian head nickel, but not "buffalo head". After all, it shows the entire buffalo, not just its head :)
And not 1954. The U.S. first struck nickel 5¢ coins in 1866.
If you have a 1960 buffalo nickel, it is a fake. They were last minted in 1938.
Same as any nickel, the P means it was minted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
It means that it was minted in San Francisco
