What is the value of an Indian Head Buffalo nickel?

Answer 1

You need to know the coin's condition, date, and mint mark.

A buffalo nickel without a date (a common problem until the design was modified in the mid-1920s) is called a cull and is only worth 10 or 15 cents.

If you can see the date, look on the back under the words FIVE CENTS to see if there's a tiny letter. It may not have one, or it may have a D or an S. You can then look at this site for questions in the form "What is the value of a (date) US nickel?" for more information.

Answer 2

Please check your coin again and post a new question. Indian head cents were minted from 1859 to mid-1909.

Answer 3

For 2001 the Indian head design only used on the U.S. Mint issued "American Buffalo" silver dollar. It does not have the 1-oz marking on it. Please post a new question that's more specific.

Answer 4

Gold plating will reduce the value.
