FWIW, there's no coin called a "buffalo head" nickel. They're called either buffalo or Indian head coins.
The date is in the same place on all of these coins, at roughly the 7:00 position on the front. However a design flaw caused the dates to wear off quickly so many buffalo nickels no longer show a date. These coins are called culls and generally sell for 15 to 25 cents as curiosities.
The small "F" under the date causes some confusion. It's not a mintmark, it's the initial of the coin's designer James E. Fraser. From 1912 to 1964 mintmarks were on the back of nickels - for Indian head nickels, the position is under the words FIVE CENTS. Possible letters are:
- No mint mark = Philadelphia
- D = Denver
- S = San Francisco
