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 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.
It's the Kansas state quarter and is worth 25 cents, like all of the state quarters currently in circulation.
1861 is the year Kansas became a state. The quarter was minted in 2005 and is worth 25 cents.
It depends on what the grade is.
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!
