Mint mark, not "siries" (which is really spelled SERIES ...) Not "e" - the U.S. never has used an E mint mark. That's an F, and is the initial of the designer James E. Fraser Not silver - all nickels except the famous "war nickels" from 1942 to 1945 are made of 25% nickel and 75% copper Assuming the 1938 date is correct, please see the Related Question for more information.
1938 was the last year of issue for the Buffalo Nickel (also called the Indian Head nickel). It was the only year since the coin was first minted in 1913, that only one mint location (Denver) was used. Only 7.02 million were minted in 1938, which makes it somewhat scarce. An unknown number of them show the "D" mint mark stamped over an "S" mint mark. These are more difficult to find and are worth $5 or so even in very worn condition. The value of any coin is based on rarity and condition. A 1938 D Buffalo in especially nice, uncirculated condition can be worth over $250.
Sorry, no Buffalo nickels were ever struck in silver.
