What Is the 1937 Buffalo Nickel Made Of? Except for the coin’s reverse, the Type II 1937 Buffalo nickel resembles the Type I of 1913.
In the 1937 version, the bottom of the reverse has been redesigned. The buffalo, formerly standing on elevated ground, is now on a line or a plane.
The word FIVE CENTS, previously written on the mound, is now concealed by a recessed area below the line, guarding it against deterioration.
The Buffalo nickel was produced using this style from 1913 to the end of the Buffalo motif in 1938.
