The coin you have described sounds like it is a "Hobo Nickel". Carving on Buffalo nickels began around 1913 and continued for many years. They have a value ranging from $5 - $15 for those carved on 1913 nickels and maybe $2 or $3 dollars for those carved later. It should be noted that it is difficult to determine just when a coin has been altered in this manner. Opinions on values of these coins vary. Being a defaced coin they have no numismatic value for collectors of U.S. Mint issued coins.
ALL U.S. coins have the date on them. Just look below the portrait of Miss Liberty!

Nickels (5-cent coins) are still made. They are 75% copper and 25% nickel and cost more than 9 cents each to produce. The metal value in 2011 was about 7 cents. Shield nickels were made from 1866 to 1883. Liberty nickels were made beginning in 1883 and stopped in 1912. The Buffalo nickels were made beginning in 1913 and stopped in 1938. The "Jefferson profile" obverse coins were replaced with new versions in 2005 with another change in 2006.
It doesn't sound like a genuine US coin. There were no silver dollars struck from 1905 to 1920 inclusive, and no gold $1 commemorative coins were struck in 1913.Please put any additional information you might have about this coin in the Discussion Area.
That depends on the year of issue, the place of minting, and the condition of the coin itself.Also, there's no coin called a "buffalo head" nickel. They're called buffalo nickels or Indian head nickels - they show the entire buffalo, not just its head, LOL!Please see the question "What is the value of a (date) US nickel?" for more information.There is no circulating U.S. coin with the head of a buffalo on it. Perhaps you are referring to a nickel with an Indianhead on it, and an entire buffalo profile on the reverse side.If that's what you have, it may not have a date on it due to a design flaw that caused the date area to wear off quickly. If so, it's reduced to a "grab bag" coin that's only worth 10 or 15 cents.If it does have a date, please post a new question with that information, plus whether there is a small D or S under the words FIVE CENTS on the back. Both of those details are needed to ID your coin.The majority of them are worth 6 cents to a dollar or so. Dateless buffaloes are worth a lot less than buffaloes in good condition.
