First see if it has a mint mark, look on the reverse under "Five Cents" if there is a "D" then look to see if the buffalo only has three legs. If it is a three legged buffalo then get the coin certified because even in general circulated condition it is worth several hundred dollars. If it has all four legs or no mint mark and is in general circulated condition then it would retail for five or six dollars.
Have fun.

1937 Buffalo Nickel
2016-10-02 02:11:58 · answer #2 · answered by matlock 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
There is the good old plain 1937 that has a value of .65 in grade good to $1.00 in grade very fine. Then there is the 1937-D ( mint mark on Buffalo (bison) side below the words five cents it's value in good .65 and in very fine $1.15. Then there is the famous 3 legged 1937, it had 4 at one time but an over zealous mint worker buffed off one of the legs ( it is the far front leg, that should have been above the letter V in five) it's value in good is $435.00 and in very fine $875.00. Most Buffalo nickels grade between good and very fine, so I list good as the low and very fine as the high value. The above values are about what a dealer would pay.

1936 Buffalo Nickel Value

Nickels are usually worth 5 cents!! :-)
Seriously, as a collectible, a buffalo nickel could be very valuable. A lot will depend on the coin's condition and what a coin collector is willing to pay.

Having bought lots of ebay.com coin lots where they make the package heavier with lots of worn-down buffaloes and wheat cents, I am left with a sack of no-date buffalo nickels that I doubt would even be accepted by modern coin mechanisms, for being off-size or the wrong electrical properties. At least you know it's a 1937; that's a start. One 1936 buffalo that I bought sight-unseen as an alleged BU turned out to have been vigorously cleaned (they don't usually shine like that), when I showed it to my local coin dealer for his opinion.

It depends on how good of a condition it's in.
