What is a rare date for nickels?
There are only a few truly rare dates. Among standard issues, 1877 and 1909-S are considered to be key dates. 1877 Indian cents retail for about $1000 in worn condition and go up to $150,000 in top condition. A 1909-S retails for $500 to a several thousand. There is also an 1888/1887 "overdate" resulting from re-use of an existing die. While this could technically be considered an error coin its value is anywhere from $2300 to $50,000

Pretty much any nickels minted from the 1930s to today are considered to be common or only very slightly rare. You have to go back at least a century to find rare standard strikes; in addition there are several rare errors. Some of the more valuable coins are: > 1879, 1880, and 1881 shield design > 1885, 1886, and 1912-S Liberty head design > 1913-S Type II buffalo design. The following buffalo nickel errors are rare: >1916/16, 1918/17-D, and 1937-D 3 legs
What were the values of a buffalo head nickel in 1970?
In 1970 buffalo nickels could still be often found in circulation. So other than rare dates and high grade uncirculated specimens, the rest had little or no added value. Also, they are normally called either "buffalo nickels" or "Indian head nickels". The image is of an entire buffalo, not just its head, LOL!

No. But the ones where the buffalo have three legs are.

They're relatively rare to find in circulation being that they're over 70 years old, but they're not so rare that they're extremely valuable.
What is the value of a 1985 Lewis and Clark nickel?
Uh, please give the coin another look. All 1985 nickels carry the familiar Jefferson portrait used until 2004. Lewis and Clark Bicentennial nickels were minted in 2004 and 2005. In any case, none of those 3 dates is rare.
