Is there a buffalo nickel without the Indian head?
There aren't any nickels called "buffalo head" coins. They're referred to as "buffalo nickel" or "Indian Head nickels" but not "buffalo head" because it shows the whole animal on the back, LOL.

There are several valuable error coins, though - please see the Related Question for more details.
What are hobo nickels?

While Indian Head nickels with an S mintmark are generally worth more, that's not the always case. Generally the reason why they're worth more is because they have lower mintage amounts.
Where is the date on an Indian head nickel?
The date position on all Indian head (a/k/a buffalo) nickels is below the neck of the portrait, at roughly the 7:00 position. Many Indian head nickels don't show a date anymore. There was a design flaw in the early coins that caused the date to wear off more quickly than expected. The problem is that nickel is a hard metal, so "quickly" meant about 10 years (!) By the time the defect became obvious and was fixed, more than a decade's worth of nickels were in circulation. Dateless Indian head nickels are called "culls" and have little or no numismatic value. You might find them in a dealer's grab box selling as curiosities for a dime or so.
