  • Shield and Liberty nickels have the date at the bottom front of the coin, at the 6:00 position.
  • Indian Head nickels have the date on the Chief's shoulder
  • Jefferson nickels from 1938 to 2004 have the date near the rim at the 4:00 position
  • Jefferson nickels from 2005 to the present have the date at roughly the 5:00 position

Many buffalo nickels don't display a date because of a design defect that caused it to wear off quickly. These coins are considered to be "culls" and sell for at most a quarter.
