The 1935 Buffalo nickel is a five-cent coin struck by the United States Mint from 1913 to 1938. It was designed by James Earle Fraser and features a Native American chief on the obverse and a bison (or "buffalo") on the reverse. The 1935 Buffalo nickel is composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel and weighs 5 grams.

The value of a 1935 Buffalo nickel depends on its condition and rarity. Common examples in circulated condition can sell for around $1, while higher-grade, uncirculated examples can fetch several hundred dollars or more. Some of the most valuable 1935 Buffalo nickels are the "Three-Legged Buffalo" and "Broken Arrow" varieties. The Three-Legged Buffalo variety features an extra leg on the bison's left side, while the Broken Arrow variety has a broken arrow on the bison's back. Both varieties are extremely rare and can sell for thousands of dollars.
