What is the value of a US nickel with a P on the back on top of the monument?

The "monument" is actually Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home. The large "P" over its dome indicates your coin was made at the Philadelphia Mint and is a so-called war nickel. Depending on condition and date, its retail value is at least a dollar as of 10/2015
War nickels were minted from late 1942 to 1945 when nickel metal was in short supply. Instead of the usual cupronickel alloy, the Mint used a substitute alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese. The small amount of silver (1.75 gm) is what gives these coins extra value today.
Note: war nickels are the only US nickels that ever contained silver. All others regardless of date are made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.

What is the value of a 1936 E Indian head nickel with an upside down buffalo on the back?
To explain things: > ALL US coins have their reverse side oriented 180º to the front. That is, the words FIVE CENTS should be near the same part of the coin's rim on the back as the top of the chief's head on the front. > The US never had an E mintmark; what you're seeing is a small F, which is the initial of the designer James Fraser. Mint marks on Buffalo nickels are below the words FIVE CENTS. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1936 US nickel?" for more information.
