Historic Values of Buffalo Nickels
Chances are, you’ve seen a Buffalo nickel in your life, even if not in person.
From magazine advertisements to old-time movies, and even in some sayings, like “he holds a nickel so tight, the Indian rides the buffalo,” the Buffalo nickel has gained and maintained fame in a multitude of ways.
The Buffalo nickel, designed by James Earle Fraser, was minted during 1913 and 1938 and due to its span of when it was minted is highly synonymous with World War I, the Roaring ‘20s, and the Great Depression.

First, though, a brief history of BMW’s in-house tuning arm. The brand first assembled under the BMW Motorsport name in 1972, and for much of the 1970s its activities were limited to BMW’s racing efforts. This changed, of course, with the M1 supercar in 1978. Essentially a homologation special, the production M1 was sold so that BMW Motorsport could send it racing. It was BMW’s first M-badged road car, and it set the stage for more M models down the road.
