1928 is not a rare date for Buffalo nickels. In average circulated condition it's worth about 50 cents. If it has enough details to still clearly see the entire horn on the buffalo, it will be worth $8.00 or more. Check the back, under the FIVE CENTS for a letter "D" or "S". Having one of these mintmarks will make your coin worth more -- especially in the higher grades.
