Buffalo Nickel

I found this buffalo nickel while at work and got excited to learn more about it!! Any info??

You can buy this nickel asset it’s only for buffalo nickels, and if it loses date, you put it on it and it brings date back

Looks like a common dateless buffalo nickel. Not worth much more than 50 cents.

You could use a nickel day on it. It’s an acid that puts the date back on.

There are several varieties that are visible on slick Buffalo 5 Cent coins. 2 feather varieties where the middle bottom feather peeking out from underneath the 2 full feathers at the back of the neck was polished completely off of the working die before it was struck. This variety appears on many different dates. The second involves the front leg of the Buffalo on the reverse. Sometimes it appears as 1/2 a leg ( 3 1/2 legged buffalo 1913,1917-d,1927-d, 1936-d) missing leg(3 legged buffalo 1937-d) or doubled (5 legged Buffalo 1930)

Type 1 Buffalo nickels will have a filled or “raised ground” on the reverse where five cents is struck onto the coin.

Type 2 so it can be anywhere from 1913 - 1936. Unfortunately Buffalo Nickels wear at the worst spots. The date should be in the bottom left of the obverse and it appears to be worn slick. The mint mark should be on the reverse below the c in cents also appears to be worn off. The only way to determine mint and date would be to apply a chemical called ferric chloride commonly called Nicadate in the numismatic community. However doing this immediately reduces the value of the coin because it will have been chemically treated. Value of a slick Buffalo ~$0.15-$0.50
