In 1923 the government cranked up the production of the 1923 Buffalo Head Nickels. The Philadelphia Mint coined 35,715,000 coins and the San Francisco Mint struck 6,142,000 coins.

The quality of the Philadelphia Mint's 1923 Buffalo Head Nickel is one of the best in the series. The other being the 1921 Buffalo Head Nickel also minted by the Philadelphia Mint. Finding a nice coin with very nice details should be easy.

The coins from the San Francisco Mint are just the opposite. It is easy to find coins in circulated condition but the really quality coins will be harder to find. The weak spots on the coins to look for are on the obverse in the braid area and on the reverse in the fur area on the buffalo's head.

In 1930-1938,Buffalo Head Nickel | Comments(0)

The 1934 Buffalo Head Nickel was only produced at the Philadelphia Mint and the Denver Mint in 1934. The Philadelphia Mint struck 20,213,003 coins. The Denver Mint coined 7,480,000 strikes.

The coins made at the Philadelphia Mint were a pretty good run of coins. You can find many coins in uncirculated mint condition. What is really scarce is coins that are in uncirculated mint condition with perfect details. Even though they are know to exist finding one will be tough.

The coins made at the Denver Mint were also a pretty good run of mint coins. Finding coins with very nice details should be easy to do.
The uncirculated mint coins with perfect details are more scarce than perfect coins from the Philadelphia mint. Good luck in finding one.

The coins from the Denver Mint lacked great details. Many of them were made with varying quality. Finding nice ones may proof to be difficult.

The run of coins from the San Francisco Mint were pretty lousy. Coins with full details are very hard to find, if not impossible. The reverse of many of the coins is poor because of problems with the dies when the coins were struck.

1913 Buffalo Head Nickel Interesting Varieties

In 1913-1919,Buffalo Head Nickel | Comments(0)

Their are 4 different varietes of the 1913 Buffalo Head Nickel. 3 varieties for Type I and 1 variety for Type II.

At the Philadelphia Mint an overlapping on the reverse die caused one of the front legs of the buffalo to become very unclear and created what is know as 3 1/2 legs. This affected coins in the Type I series.

At the Denver and San Francisco Mints problems with the obverse die caused the disappearance of the third feather. The coins affected were in the Type I series

The last interesting variety was from the Philadelphia mint. Some of the coins were found to have slight die doubling in the date area of the coin.

1925 Buffalo Head Nickel

In 1920-1929,Buffalo Head Nickel | Comments(0)

The 1925 Buffalo Head Nickels were again minted by all 3 mints. The Philadelphia Mint minted 35,565,000 coins. The Denver Mint struck 4,450,000 coins and the San Francisco mint minted 6,256,000 strikes.

The 1925 Buffalo Head Nickel struck at the Philadelphia Mint would not be considered a great run coins. Most of the coins minted were typical strikes with average details. Lacking were coins that have total details and really standout when you see them.

The coins struck at the Denver Mint also were not the best quality of coins. Most coins lacked great details. Finding a really nice coins will be difficult.

The San Francisco coins might be the worse run that the 3 mints put out that year. Coins with complete details are very tough to find. Many of the coins minted had flaws when they were made, in the areas of the lettering, the buffalo's fur and the centers of the coins.
If your looking for uncirculated coins make sure they have not been altered or cleaned before you buy.
