Best Answer

None, because all buffalo nickels are made of the same 75% copper / 25% nickel alloy as current US nickels.

The only US nickels that ever contained any silver were special "war nickels" made during 1942-45.

What is the value of a 1920 Buffalo Head nickel?

The coin is called an Indian head nickel or a buffalo nickel, not a "buffalo head". It shows the entire buffalo, not just its head. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1920 US nickel?" for more information.


What is the value of a silver buffalo nickel?

Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made out of silver. Buffalo nickels were issued from 1913 to 1938 and all were struck in an alloy of copper and nickel. There has never been a silver buffalo nickel. If you can see the coin's date on the front, please enter a new question in the form "What is the value of a <date> US nickel" in the large box at the top of the page and click the GO button. (<date> is of course your coin's actual date, like 1920 or 1936) If the date isn't visible on the front (a common problem with buffalo nickels) it's called a "cull" and is worth at most 10 or 15 cents.
