Answer The mint mark position on all Buffalo (= Indian Head) nickels is located below the words "Five Cents" on the coin's reverse side.
At that time Philadelphia did not use a mint mark so the possibilities are:
> Blank = Philadelphia
> "D" = Denver
> "S" = San Francisco
There were some years when only one or two mints struck Indian Head nickels, and a few years (e.g. 1932-33) when none were struck at all, so you won't be able to find every possible combination of dates and mint marks.
This will vary greatly depending on date and mint mark.
Check under the "FIVE CENTS" on the reverse of the coin. Possible mint marks are:No mint mark = PhiladelphiaD = DenverS = San FranciscoAlso note that the coin is called either a Buffalo Nickel or Indian Head Nickel, but not "buffalo head". After all, it shows the whole buffalo, not just its head!
The U.S. Mint has never used a "T" mint mark. Examine your coin closely and then post a new question.
The mint-mark is on the back of the coin. Look farther below the buffalo close to the the rim and if it was not minted at Philadelphia it Will have a mint-mark
The mint mark on all Indian/buffalo nickels is on the reverse(tails) side, right at the bottom, below the words "five cents." No mark is Philadelphia, D is Denver, and S is San Francisco.
