Answer The mint mark position on all Buffalo (= Indian Head) nickels is located below the Words "Five Cents" on the coin's reverse side.
At that time Philadelphia did not use a mint mark so the possibilities are:
> Blank = Philadelphia
> "D" = Denver
> "S" = San Francisco
There were some years when only one or two mints struck Indian Head nickels, and a few years (e.g. 1932-33) when none were struck at all, so you won't be able to find every possible combination of dates and mint marks.
