Please check again and post a new question. The first nickels were made in 1866, and buffalo nickels were issued from 1913 to 1938. The "F" on the front is the designer's initial. The mint mark, if there is one, would be located on the back below FIVE CENTS.
The "f" is not a mintmark but rather an initial. With out a date it is impossible to tell the value of your coin. Most buffalo or Indian head nickels aren't worth much. Post a new question and structure it like this to ensure an answer- "What is the value of a <date> US nickel" or " What is a <date> US nickel worth".

To clear things up: > Not an "E" mintmark. What you're seeing is a small F, which is the initial of the designer James Fraser. Mint marks on Buffalo nickels are below the words FIVE CENTS on the back. > Either "Indian head" or "buffalo", but not "buffalo head". Buffalo nickels show the whole animal!

This famous design was created by James Earle Fraser. His initial "F" appears just below the date, on the front of the coin (buffalo nickels had their mint marks on the back, as was common before 1968).
