By "type" I assume you mean "mint mark" because there are no known design varieties for 1926 nickels.

The mint mark position on all buffalo nickels is on the back under the words FIVE CENTS. No mint mark = Philadelphia, S = San Francisco, D = Denver. Philadelphia issues are common; as of 01/2009 retail values range from $1 if worn to about $10 if almost like new.

1926 Denver nickels are harder to find - their range is $8 to $150; San Francisco nickels are the scarcest for that year with a range of $17 to almost $1000.
