What is the value of a 1929 US nickel?

Answer 1

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!
