How much is a 1929 buffalo nickel worth?
The U.S. Mint issued the 5-cent nickel with an Indian head on the front and a buffalo on the back from 1913 until 1938. Often known as the "buffalo nickel" or "Indian head nickel," the coin is popular among collectors. A few prints are considered rarities while most others---like the 1929 print---are abundant and are worth, on average, 50 cents. As with any good collectible, some discrepancies in printing make some coins more sought after than others.
What do the letters FS below the head of a nickel mean?
They're the initials of Felix Schlag, the coin's designer. Schlag had a dispute with the Mint over the original design for the coin and his initials were not shown until 1966. In 2006, when the new permanent portrait of Jefferson was put on the front of the nickel FS was moved to the reverse side which continues to show his picture of Monticello.
