I had to change your question because the words are BUFFALO and NICKEL. Anyway, the first buffalo nickel was not minted until 1913 so there can't be an 1892 coin. If you have a coin with that date it is a Liberty nickel because it has a picture of Miss Liberty on the obverse (you did see that there wasn't a buffalo on either side, correct?) If so, an 1892 Liberty nickel will retail for about $6 if very worn, up to maybe $100 if almost uncirculated.
