Valuable coins in this series include:
> 1913-D or S "type II" coins, with the buffalo on a low-rise mound of earth similar to that used on later dates.
> Overdates, where a die was re-engraved or re-punched: 1914 over 1913; 1916 over the same date, and 1918 over 1917
> 1937-D with a 3-legged buffalo, due to overpolishing of the reverse die. Beware of counterfeits made from normal 37-Ds by removing one leg using jeweller's tools.
Jefferson not Lincoln, and none are considered rare.

Check that coin again. The last year for buffalo nickels was 1938.

In 1970 buffalo nickels could still be often found in circulation. So other than rare dates and high grade uncirculated specimens, the rest had little or no added value. Also, they are normally called either "buffalo nickels" or "Indian head nickels". The image is of an entire buffalo, not just its head, LOL!
No. But the ones where the buffalo have three legs are.
No date Buffalo Nickels are still 5 cents, some arts and crafts people buy them for jewelry pieces
