The horn on a buffalo nickel refers to the prominent depiction of a bison, or buffalo, which is featured on the reverse side of the coin. The design, created by sculptor James Earle Fraser, showcases the buffalo in profile, emphasizing its large, curved horns. The buffalo nickel was minted from 1913 to 1938 and is notable for its unique representation of American wildlife and the rugged spirit of the American West. The coin is often sought after by collectors for its artistry and historical significance.

How can you tell the type of buffalo nickel you have for 1926?
By "type" I assume you mean "mint mark" because there are no known design varieties for 1926 nickels. The mint mark position on all buffalo nickels is on the back under the words FIVE CENTS. No mint mark = Philadelphia, S = San Francisco, D = Denver. Philadelphia issues are common; as of 01/2009 retail values range from $1 if worn to about $10 if almost like new. 1926 Denver nickels are harder to find - their range is $8 to $150; San Francisco nickels are the scarcest for that year with a range of $17 to almost $1000.

E.g. search for "buffalo nickel pictures" or "buffalo nickel images".
