The buffalo should be facing to the left on the coin, and its orientation should be opposite from the image of the Native American chief on the front. That is, the words FIVE CENTS should be near the same edge of the coin on the back as the top of the chief's head on the front.
If the reverse side isn't oriented 180º versus the front you could have what's called a rotated-die error. Such a coin would require in-person examination.
If you have a buffalo one, something is wrong. The last Buffalo nickels were made in 1938.

There are no reports of 1936 buffalo nickels being struck in the wrong metal. If you have access to a sensitive scale, weigh your coin. All buffalo nickels have a nominal weight of 5.0 gm so if your coin is close to that value, it's almost certain it was discolored or plated, possibly as part of a common high school chemistry experiment. If its weight is significantly different from 5.0 gm (e.g. 4.5, 5.7, etc.) it should be examined in person by a dealer or appraiser who handles error coins.
You've got to be a bit more specific on how it is stamped wrong before we can assign a premium over silver value on the coin.
The first nickels were minted in 1866.Prior to that time 5-cent coins were smaller, made from silver, and called half-dimes. If you have a coin that says HALF DIME on the back, an 1861 coin in good condition (G4) is worth $20.00; if it's mint state is MS60, the value is: $200.00.If it looks like a regular nickel, you are probably looking at a 1981 nickel from the wrong angle. (1981 upside-down is 1861)The US Mint did not produce a nickel in 1861.

It depends by what you mean "made wrong" is it off center, broadstruck, struck through? Etc. Without knowing anything about this coin, it is impossible to assign a value to the error.
