Whats the value of a 1902 and 1907 Liberty nickels?
Buffalo nickels were not struck until 1913 so your nickels (which do not have buffaloes on them, correct?) must be from the prior series called Liberty nickels. You can find a price guide at http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/prices/libnkl/pricesgd.shtml , among many such sites.
What is a Buffalo nickel 1919p can't find it in the red book how much is it worth?
I'm very surprised you couldn't find your coin in the Red Book. 1919 is a common date for buffalo nickels. Perhaps you're looking specifically for a "P" mint mark. Remember that Philadelphia did not use a P on nickels until WW2 and then again starting in 1980. That means a 1919 Philadelphia nickel won't have a mint mark, nor will any other coin minted before 1980 except for those wartime nickels and 1979 dollars. Anyway, a 1919 buffalo nickel from Philly retails for a couple of bucks in average condition, up to maybe $14 in Almost Uncirculated condition.
What is the value of a coin with a buffalo on the back?
Several American coins have buffaloes on them. The most famous is of course the original Buffalo Nickel issued from 1913 to 1938. You can find prices for this series at many sites; e.g. http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/prices/bufnkl/pricesgd.shtml One word of caution - early-date Buffalo nickels had a design flaw that caused the date to wear off very quickly. If your coin is missing its date, unfortunately it's considered a "cull" and is worth maybe 15 to 25 cents as a curiosity. A very modified version of the buffalo design was revived for a half a year as part of the 2005 commemorative "Westward Journey" series of nickels. Hundreds of millions of these were struck for circulation and are only worth face value.
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.

"Buffalo", but not "buffalo head". These nickels show the whole animal! These coins were minted for the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. Hundreds of millions were minted and almost all were snapped up as keepsakes. Any that you find in change will be worth 5 cents only.
