What is F stamped by date on Buffalos?

I apologize if I've already asked this question, but what is the F stamped by the date on Buffalo Nickels?
Thanks,,,,,, Foo

That would be the initial of James Earle Fraser, the man who designed and sculpted the Buffalo nickel.

Johndoe, I think you are responding to the wrong thread.

 

Oops...don't know how that happened. Maybe delayed pc.

 

LMAO

 

I'm sorry, but that was both odd AND funny.

 

"F" Front

 

As stated, the F is the designers initial. If it is missing the F, it is an over polished die. 1918 is a good year for Buffalo Nickel. What mint mark is it, and condition?

 

You may have to explain what the reverse is.

Isn't that the backend of the Buffalo on the reverse? LOL

 

The Mint letter, if any, is below "five cents".
