You have a piece of folk art called a hobo nickel. The design of a buffalo nickel lends itself to being altered, and it was (and still is) common to use metalworking tools to create new and interesting art. You'd have to take your coin to a dealer or appraiser who handles hobo nickels so it can be evaluated. Modern versions sell for $10 to $50 but ones made during the time these coins were in circulation can be worth several times that amount.
No. However, you may have a "hobo nickel". It has long been common folk art, probably started by hobos in the 1920s and 30s, to use small tools to modify the design of a buffalo nickel so it looks like another person / animal. Some of these now sell for significant amounts. Enter the term "hobo nickel" into a good search engine for thousands of pages of information.
You almost certainly have a piece of folk art called a "hobo nickel". The design was altered after the coin was minted. Your coin would have to be inspected in person by an expert in hobo nickels to determine whether it's an original piece made during the period that the coin was circulated (1913-1938) or a modern piece. Original hobo nickels can sell for hundreds of dollars, while modern interpretations sell for $10 to $50.
You have what's called a "hobo nickel". It was very common during the Great Depression for hobos to make some spare cash by using metalworking tools to alter the designs on various coins and selling them. Buffalo nickels were the most popular denomination to be altered this way because the image is large, simple, and strong, allowing it to be readily reworked into many different variations. Hobo nickels quickly evolved into a form of folk art that's been practiced by professional artists as well as amateurs. Even though it's rarely done by hobos anymore, the name has stuck. Each hobo nickel is unique so it's hard to put a value on a specific piece. The conquistador motif was a fairly common theme so it might be worth less than some other more unusual creations - perhaps around $10 to $20 depending on its quality and whether it's possible to determine if it's an older or more modern alteration.
