The Buffalo Indian Head Nickel was minted from 1913 to 1938. Most of these coins were made of a copper-nickel alloy, but some were plated in gold as a novelty or for jewelry purposes. If your 1918 Buffalo Nickel is gold in color, it is likely plated and not made of pure gold. The gold plating does not add significant value to the coin for collectors.

How much is a silver buffalo nickel made in 1920 worth?

The Buffalo/Indian Head Nickel's composition was 75% copper and 25% nickel. The only war-time silver nickels were from 1942 to 1945. A well-circulated 1920 nickel values from 5 cents to 2 dollars. If never circulated with original luster and full horn in reverse could be over $100 for a 1920-D. If the color is silver toned or shiny then it could be the original strike or has been cleaned or dipped in a cleaner.


Is a buffalo nickel bad luck?

Most of my life, I have never heard of any Buffalo nickels being referred to as 'Bad Luck'. I have actually heard the opposite. In fact there's one buffalo nickel that is said to be 'Lucky' It's the 1926 (encased) which is the outside and is made of brass and the nickel is made of copper and nickel. This coin is said to be Golden in color and has brought 'Good Luck' to whom ever owns one. The values of these coins vary from $20-$50 dollars. My answer to the question is No not at all. in fact they're considered 'Good Luck'

What is the value of a 1928 gold buffalo nickel?

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.

What is the value of a solid copper buffalo nickel?

US nickels have never been made of solid copper. All except the famous "war nickels" from 1942-1945 are 25% nickel. Your coin has either been plated or exposed to something that changed its color, which means it has no value to a collector.
