The 1930-S Buffalo nickel is valued at $1.00-$4.00 in average condition. The "F" is on all the coins, It's the designers initial.
AnswerThese coins are called Indian Head nickels or buffalo nickels. Both names are about equally common. 1929 is not a rare date for Buffalo Nickels. Well-worn it's worth about 50 cents. Lightly worn, with a fully defined horn it's worth about $8.00. A nice uncirculated example is worth about $45.However, if there is a "D" mintmark (on the back, below FIVE CENTS), values in the upper grades will be higher.With a small "S" under the words FIVE CENTS, about $1-2 in average condition.With a "D" or no letter, the upper range for an average circulated 1929 nickel is about $3.Ranges From $1.25-$75 depending on condition.E or F "mint marks"The mint mark on a buffalo nickel is on the back. The small letter on the front is an F and is the monogram of the coin's designer, James E. Fraser. "Nickle"Be careful about this one. The coin is a NICKEL. A NICKLE is small European bird!
