> 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.
A 1877 penny with a buffalo on the back and the word nickel is likely a novelty or altered coin. It is not a genuine U.S. coin as buffalo nickels were not minted until 1913. Its value would be minimal and mostly for novelty or educational purposes.
Not with that date. The Buffalo Nickel was minted from 1913 through 1938.
