1861 is the year Kansas became a state. The quarter was minted in 2005 and is worth 25 cents.
An 1861 Liberty Seated quarter is worth $25.00-$80.00 in average condition. A 2005 Kansas State Quarter with a Buffalo on the reverse is 25 cents.
None of the 50 States Quarters have just a buffalo head. The closest match is the Kansas state quarter minted in 2005. If that's the coin you have and you found it in change it's only worth 25 cents, the same as almost every other state quarter in circulation.
Please take a closer look. The coin's minting date is 2005 and is at the bottom edge under the buffalo.You're almost certainly thinking of the 3-legged buffalo nickel error that occurred in 1937. Your quarter is a modern State Quarter commemorating the year Kansas became a state. Unlike the nickel, the image of the buffalo intentionally shows only three legs; it's not an error.

Oh, dude, an 1861 buffalo quarter? That's like saying you found a unicorn at a yard sale. There's no such thing as an 1861 buffalo quarter because buffaloes weren't on coins back then. You probably mean a buffalo nickel, which wasn't minted until 1913. But hey, keep dreaming of that 1861 buffalo quarter, maybe it'll be worth a gazillion dollars in your dreams!
No. This is a rumor that has crossed the country but there is no truth in it. While the buffalo is clearly male, there is very little difference in the buffalo on the 2005 buffalo from the buffalo on the Buffalo nickel produced from 1913 through 1938. Click on the link named "BUFFALO NICKEL" in the "RELATED LINKS" at the lower left corner of this box to see for yourself. Click on the link named "2005 Buffalo" to see the 2005 nickel.
