The 1936 Buffalo Nickel Guide

The Buffalo Nickel, minted from 1913 to 1938, is an iconic piece of U.S. coinage, featuring a Native American and a bison.

1936 saw high production, making this year's Buffalo Nickel common but still sought after by collectors.

Key factors in value: mint mark location, coin condition, and any unique errors or varieties.

Three mint locations: Philadelphia (no mark), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S). 'D' and 'S' are more valuable.

Condition grades range from Good (G) to Mint State (MS). MS coins command the highest prices.

Special varieties, like the 'Three-Legged' Buffalo caused by a mint error, can be extremely valuable.

1936 Buffalo Nickels can be worth $0.50 to $50 in average condition but soar into thousands if in MS condition.

Proof coins were also minted in 1936, with a mirror-like finish, making them rare and highly collectible.

Always consult a professional coin grader or pricing guide for the most accurate valuation of your nickel.

Preserve your 1936 Buffalo Nickel in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight to maintain its condition.
