Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1917 Buffalo nickel is a fairly common date. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $5.00-$7.00, better grade are $9.00-$15.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $30.00-$45.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer
There are a number of factors that go into determining what a coin is worth. The value of a 1917 one cent Lincoln coin is worth $18. If it is a 1917 D it is worth $90, and a 1917 S is worth $130.
