Buffalo nickels* only have the mint mark on the back. You're probably seeing the designer's monogram on the front of the coin. In any case, a 1920-S nickel is worth about $4 in very worn condition. However, values go up steeply from there. In slightly worn condition, this coin might retail for as much as $100. (*) FWIW, the coin is a NICKEL rather than "nickle"

First of all, old nickels contain the same copper/nickel blend as modern nickels. The only U.S. nickels that actually have silver in them are war nickels minted during WWII. For a 1923 buffalo nickel, it's worth $2 or $3 in worn condition and upwards of $60 if uncirculated. If it's a 1923-S, it's worth a few times that amount.
This famous design is called either a buffalo nickel or an Indian head nickel; both names are about equally common. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1928 US nickel?" for more information. 1928 is not a rare date for Buffalo nickels. In average circulated condition it's worth about 50 cents. If it has enough details to still clearly see the entire horn on the buffalo, it will be worth $8.00 or more. Check the back, under the FIVE CENTS for a letter "D" or "S". Having one of these mintmarks will make your coin worth more -- especially in the higher grades.

It would depend on the date of the Buffalo nickel. Post a new question and include the date and mintmark if there is one.
