The FS are the initials of Felix Schlag, who designed the coin. Those letters are on every Jefferson nickel from 1966 to 2004. Every single coin in that time frame is worth 5 cents.
The probability of 2 coins both landing on heads or both landing on tails is 1/2 because there are 4 possible outcomes. Head, head. Head, tails. Tails, tails. Tails, heads. Tails, heads is different from heads, tails for reasons I am unsure of.
Indian Head Nickels (with a buffalo on the back) were only minted from 1913 to 1938, so I have to assume you have something else -- perhaps a Liberty Head Nickel (with a big "V" on the back)? A well-worn 1891 Liberty Head Nickel is worth about $3.00
An Indian head nickel that is 24 karat gold layered, with no date, mint mark, and has been circulated is worth between $0.05 and $0.30 (as of 2013). Although they are rare, they are not worth a lot of money.
A flea market dealer would probably give you about 10 cents for it.
