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.
