To begin with, ALL buffalo nickels (in fact, all coins!) were struck* by the U.S. Mint so that's not really an identifying characteristic. What matters is the coin's condition and mint mark.
If there's no letter under the words FIVE CENTS, it's worth about $6-8 in average condition.
If there's a small S, it's worth around $10 if worn, $15 in average condition, and $35-50 if only slight wear is visible.
If there's a D, the value range is $13 / $25 / $60
(*) FWIW, coins are said to be struck or minted rather than stamped.

There's no coin called a "buffalo head" nickel. They're called Indian Head nickels or buffalo nickels - after all, it shows the entire buffalo! All rare buffalo nickels are error coins; i.e. coins with a minting mistake. The most valuable is a 1916 coin where the date was put on the die twice, resulting in the digits "16" appearing twice. As of 02/2105 these "1916 over 16" coins sell for about $3700 in the lowest collectible condition, all the way up to over $450,000 for top-quality specimens.
