1930 is a relatively common date for buffalo nickels -- in average circulated condition it's worth 50-75 cents. A buffalo nickel with the date worn off is worth less than 10 cents.
The last Buffalo nickel was made in 1938. A 1942 dated Jefferson that has a large mintmark on the reverse is 35% silver and worth about $1.00. If it does not have the large mintmark just spend it.

The "F" you see under the date is NOT a mintmark, it's the designers James Earle Fraser initial. The mintmark (if it has one) is on the back under "FIVE CENTS". The likely value is 25 cents to $1.00 In addition the coin is called a buffalo nickel or an Indian head nickel, but not "buffalo head" because it shows the entire animal :)
