With a mintage of nearly 63.5 million, the 1916 Buffalo nickels from the Philadelphia Mint boast the highest mintage for the series of any issue from the 1910s. These pieces are plentiful in all circulated grades and even in uncirculated. Moreover, it’s among the easiest to locate in mid-Gem range among any of the Buffalo nickels struck from the mid 1910s through early 1920s. However, the coin is scarce in MS66 and decidedly difficult in MS67.
