The U.S. has never used an E mint mark. What you may be seeing is a small F, which is the initial of the designer James Fraser.
Mint marks on Buffalo nickels are below the word "Five Cents".
- blank = Philadelphia
- D = Denver
- S = San Francisco
The mint mark, if there is one, would be located on the back under the words FIVE CENTS. With no mint mark or an "S", your nickel would be worth $1 if worn, $2 if only moderate wear shows. With a "D", $1 to $3.
The 1936 Buffalo Nickel is the highest mintage year(118,997,000) of all Buffalo nickels. The letter you see under the date is not a "E" but an "F" and it's not a mint mark, it's the initial of the designer James Earle Fraser, the mint mark is on the reverse under the words FIVE CENTS. As to values the coin is so common most are only $1.00-$2.00 even if the coin is in "great Shape"

What is the value of a Buffalo Nickel that says E Plurbius Unum and has no date on it?
The worn-off date is common on Buffalo nickels, due to the coin's design and date's location. They're only worth about 10 cents. It's possible to reveal the date with the use of chemicals, but that doesn't help the value at all (unless it turns out to be a key date, though it still wouldn't be worth much).
