Best Answer

The "F" under the date of the buffalo nickel is the last initial of the name of the coin's designer, James Earle Fraser.

Many people assume that it's a mint mark, but up till 1964 mint marks were located on the back of most US Coins. Buffalo nickels have the mint mark under the words FIVE CENTS:

In fact, the US never used an F mint mark - only P, D, S, C, CC, O, and W.
