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.
If you look at the coin's back side you'll see that the entire buffalo is shown, not just its head. However, on the front side only the Native chief's head is shown.That's why these coins are called Indian Head Nickelsor Buffalo Nickels, but never "buffalo head" nickels....Please see the question "What is the value of a 1918 US nickel?" for more information
