If the coin is so worn that no date is visible, it has little or no collectible value. These so-called "culls" normally sell for 10 to 25 cents as curiosities.
It's not possible to give an answer without a date. Look for questions in the form "What is the value of a US nickel?" for specific information.
There's no coin called a Liberty buffalo nickel. Liberty nickels were minted from 1883 to 1912, and buffalo nickels were made from 1913 to 1938.Please determine your coin's date, then look for questions of the form "What is the value of a US nickel?" for specific information
The last Liberty nickels were struck for circulation in 1912, so you must have a Jefferson nickel with that date, or a Liberty nickel with a different date. Could you please check the coin again, determine what you have, and post a new question?
Liberty Head Nickels were struck for the first time in 1883. With the date 1868 it's a shield nickel and average coins are valued at $15.00-$30.00
Just 5 cents
OK, it's not Lincoln, he is only on the penny. With a date of 1903 it's a Liberty Head nickel an has a value of $3.00-$5.00 in circulated condition
It's a very common date nickel that's still occasionally found in circulation. This date does not contain any silver and is only face value.
Please check your nickel again and post a new, separate question with its date. Liberty Head nickels were minted for circulation from 1883 to 1912. Dates are needed, post new question.
It's a 1888 Liberty Head Nickel and a better date, meaning values are higher in lower grades. If you can see some of the letters in the word Liberty in the head band, retail value is about $40.00. All the letters $65.00 I suggest showing it to a couple of collectors or dealers for a better idea of the value
Half-dimes were tiny (14 mm) coins issued up till 1873. The reason your coin is the size of a nickel (21 mm) is that it IS a nickel. However, without a date it's not possible to give a specific value. Please enter a new question in the form What is the value of a [date] US nickel? for a specific answer. (date = your coin's date)
Unfortunately 2 different U.S. nickels are date 1883. A Shield & Liberty Head, post new question as to type.
It's a common date, worth a dollar or two in average condition and upwards of $60 or so in uncirculated condition.
