Yes, buffalo nickels were minted in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco, but not at all three every year.
Buffalo (a/k/a Indian Head) nickels were minted from 1913 to 1938.They were struck at all three then-active mints. The mint mark position is on the back, under the words FIVE CENTS:No mint mark = PhiladelphiaD = DenverS = San Francisco
In 1959 pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars weere minted at all three mints.
All U.S. nickels were issued by the mint facilities in Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco.
The value of buffalo nickels will vary depending on the age and condition of the coin. These coins were minted from 1913 to 1938, at three different mints, and values can vary widely. If the date is worn off, the coin is called a "cull" and is only worth 10 or 15 cents. If the date is visible, please see questions "What is the value of a (date) US nickel?" for specific information.
Jefferson nickels have been minted since 1938 and at three different mints so that's a VERY broad question. For a specific coin's value, please look for questions in the form "What is the value of a (date) US nickel?"
1937
The Mercury Dime was minted in all three mints, Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. Not all three mints minted the Mercury dime every year. There were no Mercury dimes from the Denver mint in 1923-D or 1930-D. If you ever see one, it's a counterfeit coin. There was never a 1934-S dime minted either.
No. But the ones where the buffalo have three legs are.
Buffalo nickels were produced at 3 US Mint facilities in 1936. Business strike coins are those minted to be released to the public for circulation.

Coins dated 1970 were minted at three mints. Coins bearing no mintmark were minted in Philadelphia. Those with an "S" Mintmark were made in San Fransisco. Those with a "D" mintmark were made in Denver.
Yes, many millions. Indian head nickels had a design flaw that allowed the date to wear off quickly. Unfortunately dateless nickels are considered to be "culls" and sell for only ten to twenty cents as curios. Only a small number of buffalo nickels were ever struck with 3 legs, and all are the result of minting errors.
there are 60 nickels in three dollars
