Mint marks for the coins are on the reverse, beneath the words "Five Cents" and above the rim
The Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints all participated in the mintage, though San Francisco generally had a much smaller annual production than either of the other two mints
The buffalo nickel, as designed by James Earle Fraser, featured a profile of a Native American on the obverse and an American Bison (buffalo) on the reverse
In 1918 some of the Denver mint nickels were minted from a redated 1917 die
Some 1.2 billion buffalo nickels were issued during the coin's 26-year lifespan, and only one date/mintmark combination (the 1926-S) had a mintage of less than 1 million
No buffalo nickels were made in 1922,1932, or 1933
