Indian Head Nickel - Line Type
Find the current Buffalo Nickel values by year, coin varieties, and specific grade.
The name “Buffalo Nickel” is actually a misnomer, as the animal appearing on the reverse is in fact a bison and not a buffalo. The true name of this very popular coin is the Five Cent Indian Head, however, the name “Buffalo Nickel” seems to have been set as its most widely used and accepted name. There are, however, two varieties that should be on any Buffalo nickel enthusiast’s wish list. The first, and perhaps most famous of Buffalo nickel varieties, is the 1937-D 3-legged Buffalo nickel. This coin arose from the inadvertent effects of die polishing, and is worth from $600 to $1,000 in the lower circulated grades. The 1921-S is a semi-key date and value starts at $60. Proofs were minted in the years 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1935, 1936, 1937 and a Special Proof dated 1927 with the FIVE CENTS in a recess. Buffalo Nickel value for proofs begins $700 but the 1927 SP is worth $50,0000 and up. 1937-D 3 Legs Buffalo Nickel (G-4 Condition) The 1937-D Buffalo Nickel with three legs is one of the most famous coins in United States numismatics, and has a price increase record to prove it. The blue line above tracks the percent gain in value of the coin since the year 2000, in G-4 condition.
