Best Answer

American nickels are called nickels because they're made out of nickel (and copper), not silver. Buffalo nickels were minted from 1913 to 1938 at 3 different mints, so a lot more information is needed to ID and value your coin.

Please post a new question with the coin's date and whether there is a small D or S below the words FIVE CENTS.

If you can't read the date (a common problem with older buffalo nickels) it's unfortunately classed as a "cull" and is worth at most 10 or 15 cents as a "filler" coin.

There is no such coin. All 1955 cents were struck in bronze. Cents have never been struck in silver. The only silver-colored cents released to circulation were the famous 1943 "war cents". You have either an altered coin that someone plated with a silver-colored metal, or a novelty item made privately using a different metal than bronze.

The coin is a Indian Head nickel but is commonly called a Buffalo nickel. 1938 was the last year the coins were made and all of them were struck at the Denver Mint so there is a "D" mintmark on the reverse under FIVE CENTS.
