1930 Buffalo Nickel

Answer 3

This would depend on where it was minted.
During the 1920s, as a result of the massive World War I coinages, there was decreased demand for coins of all kinds—and the nickel was no exception. No nickels were struck in 1922, and even the 1921-S is a very scarce coin; only 1.6 million were produced. In About Uncirculated–50, one can expect to pay in the vicinity of $850 to $900 for this coin.

Buffalo nickels of the 1920s often are found poorly struck. Apparently, Mint technicians were ordered to make dies last as long as possible in order to save money. For this reason, the obverse and reverse dies were set a bit further apart than usual and many weak strikes resulted. Well-struck Buffalo nickels of some issues (such as the 1925–D) are very difficult to locate.

The strong economy of the late 1920s created a mini-boom in nickel coinage. For that reason, the collector can easily obtain most date-and-mint combinations without a great deal of expense. Some can be purchased for as little as $5 in XF- 40.

The advent of the Great Depression put a sudden damper on the coinage of nickels. The only such coinage from 1931 through 1933 was a small striking of 1.2 million pieces at San Francisco in 1931. But these were heavily saved by collectors and dealers, and today the 1931-S brings a very nominal price (about $24 in AU-50), considering its rarity. By a quirk of fate, the number of nickels struck at San Francisco in 1931 was larger than would have otherwise been the case. In the latter part of the year the Bureau of the Mint notified San Francisco officials that not enough pieces had been made and the last few weeks of the year should see a higher rate of coinage for this denomination. The Bureau was concerned that collectors would complain if too few were produced!
