Please check your coin again, as well as those in your pocket change, and post a new, separate question:
Buffalo nickels only ever used one design. The Indian's portrait is a composite, as is the buffalo's, although they were both based on actual individuals.
Not with that date. The Buffalo Nickel was minted from 1913 through 1938.
Please check your pocket change. ALL U.S. coins are minted so that the front and back are oriented 180º from each other. See the Related Question for more information.
If you check the coins in your pocket change you'll see that they all have the front and back oriented 180º to each other. The sides point oppositely when a coin is flipped side to side like the page of a book, so being "upside down" is perfectly normal. There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1936 US nickel?"
Please check again and post a new question. Buffalo* nickels were minted from 1913 to 1938. [*] Nickels depicting an Indian head on one side and a buffalo on the other are called Indian head nickels OR buffalo nickels, but not "buffalo head" nickels because they show the entire buffalo, not just its head.

I suspect the number is 1920, which makes it a regular Buffalo nickel, and it's worth about one dollar.

The Indian head Buffalo nickel missing a date is usually considered a damaged coin, and its value can be lower than a typical Buffalo nickel. The worth would depend on other factors like condition, mintmark, and any identifiable features on the coin. Consult with a professional coin dealer or appraiser for an accurate assessment.

First make sure your coin really is upside down. All US coins have their reverse side oriented 180º to the front, so the words FIVE CENTS should be near the same point on the back rim of the coin as the top of the Chief's head on the front. If they aren't 180º apart you could have what's called a rotated-die error. These can be moderately valuable but you would need to have your coin inspected in person by someone who deals with error coins. If the coin has the normal orientation found on standard US coins it's worth the same as all other 1935 nickels. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1935 US nickel?" for more information.
