Yes they do.
Please check again and post a new question. Buffalo* nickels were minted from 1913 to 1938.

Buffalo nickels only ever used one design. The Indian's portrait is a composite, as is the buffalo's, although they were both based on actual individuals.
In 1970 buffalo nickels could still be often found in circulation. So other than rare dates and high grade uncirculated specimens, the rest had little or no added value. Also, they are normally called either "buffalo nickels" or "Indian head nickels". The image is of an entire buffalo, not just its head, LOL!
No it's not, all Buffalo nickels have the "F" under the dates it's the initial of the designer James Earle Fraser.
Yes, many millions. Indian head nickels had a design flaw that allowed the date to wear off quickly. Unfortunately dateless nickels are considered to be "culls" and sell for only ten to twenty cents as curios. Only a small number of buffalo nickels were ever struck with 3 legs, and all are the result of minting errors.
F is not a mint mark on any buffalo (nor any other) nickel, though the buffalo nickel was designed by one J.E. Fraser. In 1923, there were 35.7 million nickels minted in Philadelphia, with another 6.1 million in San Francisco, but none in Denver.
To set things straight, it would be "buffalo" rather than "bufflow". Also it can't be 1820 because the first nickels weren't made till 1866 and buffalo nickels were issued from 1913 to 1938. And finally it can't be silver because buffalo nickels are made from copper-nickel, like all other nickels except the famous "war nickels" from 1942-45.If your coin is dated 1920, please see the Related Question for more information.
Like all US nickels except the famous "war nickels" of 1942-45, buffalo nickels are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Regardless of urban legends and internet rumors, the US never made any other silver nickels except those struck during WWII. There were in fact tiny silver 5-cent coins called half-dimes but they were discontinued in 1873 and were never called "nickels".
