Up For Auction Is 1 (One) No-Date US Buffalo/Indian Head Nickel. The Buffalo nickel or Indian Head nickel is a copper-nickel five-cent piece that was struck by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. It was designed by sculptor James Earle Fraser. As part of a drive to beautify the coinage, five denominations of US coins had received new designs between 1907 and 1909. In 1911, Taft administration officials decided to replace Charles E. Barber's Liberty Head design for the nickel, and commissioned Fraser to do the work. They were impressed by Fraser's designs showing a Native American and an American bison. The designs were approved in 1912, but were delayed several months because of objections from the Hobbs Manufacturing Company, which made mechanisms to detect slugs in nickel-operated machines. The company was not satisfied by changes made in the coin by Fraser, and in February 1913, Treasury Secretary Franklin MacVeagh decided to issue the coins despite the objections. The reason why some Buffalo Nickels have no-date Is with the overuse during The Great Depression and the location of the date on where it was raised made it more likely than normal for it to rub away more easy. The date is located just on the bottom left on the Buffalo nickel — on the shoulder of the Indian. This means that the date sits high off the surface of the coin and is one of the first places that wear will take place on the Buffalo nickel. Also back during the Great Depression the Buffalo Nickel had around 14 times the buying power than it does today so it was more commonly used over the penny and other coins were made of silver which was being horded at the time. It can take many years — sometimes decades — of normal wear and tear to rub a date off a Buffalo nickel. For a coin which saw heavy use during the Great Depression, you can bet that dateless Buffalo nickels would tell interesting stories if they could talk.
