Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made of silver. All buffalo nickels were struck in the same alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper that's used for modern nickels.

Unfortunately buffalo nickels had a design problem that caused their dates to wear off quickly in circulation. These coins are called culls and sell for 10 to 25 cents as curiosities. Some people like to use them when making jewelry, belts, pendants, paperweights, etc.
