What is the value of a half 1877 Indian Head penny half Buffalo nickel novelty coin?

These novelty items sell for a few dollars in gift shops, but they're really only conversation pieces or "trick coins" with little or no collector value.
The fact that you recognized the coin as a novelty piece indicates you're aware that they're manufactured by cutting two genuine coins in half sideways and swapping the resulting sides. That means they're "damaged goods" from a numismatic standpoint.
Unfortunately, if the Indian head cent half was made by cutting apart a genuine 1877 coin the financial loss is significant. 1877 is a key date in the series, with values ranging from about $500 for a worn one all the way up to tens of thousands of dollars for top-quality uncirculated coin.
