Unless it's a proof coin or uncirculated, it's worth the same as the hundreds of millions of other state quarters in circulation; i.e. face value only.
The 1889 quarter which has a buffalo on it is the NORTH Dakota quarter not South Dakota. The South Dakota 1889 quarter depicts Mount Rushmore. Both quarters were released in 2006. Unless they are proof they are worth 25 cents.
The North Dakota state quarter was released in 2006. It shows a pair of bison with a setting sun. There is also a view of the buttes and canyon's depicting the North Dakota Badlands or Theodore Roosevelt National Park. At the top are the inscriptions "North Dakota" and "1889".

The Dakota depended on the buffalo/bison for food, clothing, shelter, weapons. So they followed the buffalo as they roamed the Great Plains, including North Dakota.
Yes, there is a National Buffalo Museum in North Dakota. It is located in Jamestown, near the Frontier Village. The National Buffalo Museum is home to a bison herd. One bison, White Cloud, is the only true albino "White Buffalo".
Unless the coin is in uncirculated or proof condition, it's only worth 25¢. If you take a closer look at your coin you'll see it's a modern state quarter minted in 2006. The minting date is next to the bottom edge, and 1889 is the year that the featured state, North Dakota, joined the Union.
The World's Largest Buffalo statue is located in Jamestown, North Dakota. The statue is about 1/4 mile from the James River, on a bluff overlooking the river.
I would give you 25 cents for it. don't listen to this guy!! if it is the North Dakota quarter, i know what your talking about. these are sometimes easy to spot. maybe $100 at the most.
These were released on August 28, 2006.
Either not 1776, not a buffalo, or not a quarter.> The buffalo motif has only been used on nickels from 1913 to 1938 and in 2005, and the 2006 North Dakota state quarter.> The US Mint didn't exist in 1776. The first quarters were struck in 1796.> The only quarters to carry the 1776 date were Bicentennial quarters and it was part of a dual date - 1776-1976.Please look again and post a new question.
