What you're seeing is actually a small "F", which is the initial of the designer James Fraser. Mint marks on Buffalo nickels are below the words FIVE CENTS on the back:
- No mint mark = Philadelphia
- D = Denver
- S = San Francisco
If the coin is so worn it that the date is no longer visible (a common problem with buffalo nickels) it's only worth 10 to 25 cents as a curiosity.
If the date is visible you can get an estimate of its value by looking for questions "What is the value of a (date) US nickel?" where (date) is of course your coin's specific date.
