Does anybody else have a buffalo nickel? If so post on forum.

A buffalo, indeed….😜

I have a few, none amazing - this one is decent.

Decent 1913 type 2

Good 1916S too.

Ironically, the „buffalo“ Nickel should have developed the name „Indian head“ Nickel, due to the fact it has a portrait of an Indian on it, unfortunately the name had already been used commonly for the Cent which has a portrait of „liberty“ on it and was mistaken for an Indian portrait. Imagine the alternative reality where there was a „feathered headdress“ Cent and a „Indian head“ Nickel.

I mean seriously, it is clear that one is lady liberty wearing feathered headdress and the other is a Native American Indian!

I have lots, to many to post. If you want to see look at my collection. I am looking for more if anyone has some to swap.

I see your point, but the Indian head cent just looks like a white woman wearing a head dress, whereas the Buffale nickel looks like a more faithful and accurate depiction of an Indigenous American male.

I did not remember that I had one. I stowed it away with some Lincoln cents, I dont know how long ago. 

I feel certain I got it in change.

I have a few

But looking to fill my folder, if anyone has any to swap let me know.

Not the best examples (1919 & 1929)…
