Indian head nickels with visible dates are generally worth a minimum retail price of a dollar or so for the lowest collectible grades. Some date and mint mark combinations, as well as coins with less wear, can be worth significantly more but each coin has to be evaluated individually.

You can often find them in dealers' grab-boxes for a quarter or less.

These can be moderately valuable but you would need to have your coin inspected in person by someone who deals with error coins.
