To clear things up:
> Not an "E" mintmark. What you're seeing is a small F, which is the initial of the designer James Fraser. Mint marks on Buffalo nickels are below the Words FIVE CENTS on the back.
> Either "Indian head" or "buffalo", but not "buffalo head". Buffalo nickels show the whole animal!
