Question

What is a buffalo nickel with a soldier on the other side wearing a helmet?

Answer 1

You have what's known as a Hobo Nickel. The soldier design was carved into the coin after it left the mint. You would need an expert first-hand inspection to determine if you have a modern version (worth $5-$50) or an original (worth possibly hundreds of dollars).

Answer 2

The buffalo nickel had a design flaw which led to the date wearing off easily. Dateless buffaloes are worth about 10 cents, good for use in crafts or jewelry.

Answer 3

Buffalo nickel was created in 1913.
