The value of Indian head and buffalo nickels from 1913 to 1938 can vary significantly based on their condition and rarity. Common Indian head nickels are generally valued between $1 to $5, while rare dates or those in excellent condition can be worth much more. Buffalo nickels also range from $1 to several hundred dollars, depending on their mint mark, year, and condition. A knife set from that era may have its own collectible value, but it would depend on the brand, condition, and collector interest.
There were no nickels made in 1932 or 1933.Most nickels dated 1934 through 1937 are worth anywhere from a dollar or so up to several dollars but it depends a lot on their condition and mint mark. For specific answers look for questions in the form "What is the value of a [date] US nickel?"

Indian head nickels with visible dates are generally worth a minimum retail price of a dollar or so for the lowest collectible grades. Some date and mint mark combinations, as well as coins with less wear, can be worth significantly more but each coin has to be evaluated individually. A design flaw caused the date to wear off many Indian head nickels, though. These coins are considered to be "culls" with little collectible value. You can often find them in dealers' grab-boxes for a quarter or less.
They usually sell for about 10 to 15 cents. Crafty people use them to decorate belts and make domed buttons. Note that these coins are called Buffalo Nickels or Indian Head Nickels, but not "Buffalo Head" nickels. After all, they show the whole buffalo and not just its head! ========================= The mint mark will be located on the back side under the words FIVE CENTS. Nickels minted in Philadelphia do not have a letter, though. Also, nickels minted from 1913 to 1925 had a design flaw that allowed their dates to wear off quickly. Unfortunately these "cull" nickels aren't worth much more than face value. The link below lists prices.

The U.S. never used a G mint mark and the only Indian head cents that did carry a mint mark were made by the San Francisco Mint in 1908 and 1909.
