The 1885 V nickel is the most valuable of the set because it had the second lowest mintage at just below 1.5 million. Compare that to, say, the 1891 V nickel with 16.8 million, or the 1907 at 39.2 million. The lowest mintage was the 1912-S at 238 thousand (not including the 5 known 1913 V nickels, as those are more of an anomaly).
A 1885 nickel (aka - Liberty Head 5 cents) is worth in fine condition (F12): $1000; if this coin is in a mint state of MS60, its value is: $2300.The 1885 Liberty Head nickel is the key date of the series, retail values for circulated coins run from $480.00 to more than $2,000.00 depending on the grade. If you have this coin a dealer or collector needs to put a grade on it for an accurate value.
$18 but a little more or less depending on the grade.
If the mint mark is a D the nickel is probably worth no more than a dollar. If the mint mark is an S it could be worth around $3.00 By the way, there is no such thing as a 1938 liberty nickel. The only nickels minted in 1938 were buffaloes and Jeffersons.
This famous design is called either a buffalo nickel or an Indian head nickel; both names are about equally common. Please see the Related Question for more information.
A heavily worn Liberty Head Nickel is worth maybe $1 unless it is one of the more scarce coins of the series, I would suggest you take it to a coin shop and let them look at it just to be sure.

Nickel is worth more than just five cents
The 1885 Liberty Head Nickel is the key date for the series, retail values for coins that show heavy wear are $500.00-$800.00 so if you actually have one of the coins, I suggest you have the coin graded by a collector or dealer. In grades higher than F-12 values are $1,000.00 to more than $2,000.00 depending on what grade the coin is.
The reason is because the dime used to be made of silver, while the nickel has always been a copper/nickel blend. Silver is worth more, which is why the coin could be smaller, but worth more. There used to be a silver half-dime, but the coin was so small that it was replaced by the nickel.
