The Indian head design was issued from 1913 to 1938.
Note: Nickels (and ALL coins, for that matter) are not "printed". They're struck or minted. Paper bills are printed.
Buffalo nickels were made from 1913 to 1938.
The 1938 issue is a bit of an anomaly and includes an interesting error coin. The new Jefferson design was supposed to be introduced at the start of 1938 but wasn't quite ready. To meet the demand for nickels the Mint authorized the Denver and San Francisco mints to strike 1938-dated buffalo nickels.
Denver started production but dies for Jefferson nickels were available before San Francisco could come on line. Its buffalo dies were shipped to Denver where an engraver attempted to re-use one that had already been punched with an S mint mark, resulting in a coin with both mint marks called a "D over S" error.
It's either "Indian head" or "buffalo", but not "buffalo head". Buffalo nickels show the whole animal! All buffalo nickels are made of the same 25% nickel / 75% copper alloy used in modern nickels. Internet rumors notwithstanding, NO buffalo nickels ever contained any silver.
All Indian head (a/k/a buffalo) nickels were struck in the same alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. That composition has been used for all 5-cent pieces except the famous "war nickels" made during WW 2. The latter were made of silver, copper, and manganese because nickel was needed for the war effort.

All Liberty Head nickels are made from the same alloy as current nickels: 75% copper mixed with 25% nickel. Regardless of common misunderstandings, the only US nickels that ever contained silver were the famous "war nickels" made during WWII when nickel metal was needed for the war effort.
