Buffalo nickels were never made out of silver, only cupronickel.
Please post a new question with the coin's date and whether there is a small D or S below the words FIVE CENTS on the back. Without that information it's not possible to determine a value.

To clear things up: > It's not silver; all buffalo nickels were struck in the same alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper used for modern nickels. > It's also not a "buffalo head nickel"; it's either "Indian head" or "buffalo", but not "buffalo head".

What is the value of a silver buffalo nickel?
Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made out of silver. Buffalo nickels were issued from 1913 to 1938 and all were struck in an alloy of copper and nickel. There has never been a silver buffalo nickel. If you can see the coin's date on the front, please enter a new question in the form "What is the value of a <date> US nickel" in the large box at the top of the page and click the GO button. (<date> is of course your coin's actual date, like 1920 or 1936) If the date isn't visible on the front (a common problem with buffalo nickels) it's called a "cull" and is worth at most 10 or 15 cents.
