> Liberty nickels were struck from 1883 to 1912
> Buffalo nickels were struck from 1913 to 1938
Buffalo nickels were made from 1913 to 1938. Any coin dated 1877 is a replica or fantasy piece whose value depends on whether it contains any precious metals. Of course, all genuine buffalo nickels were struck in an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel so they have almost no intrinsic value, only collector value.

The coin you have described sounds like a novelity coin and has no value other than the materials it is made from.
Not with that date. The Buffalo Nickel was minted from 1913 through 1938.
