If I understand the wording of the question the answer is yes, but to be sure lay the coin flat with the heads side up and turn the coin left to right the Buffalo should be upside down on each turn. In fact, all US Coins are minted this way so you should be able to do this with anything in your pocket change.
NOTE: the coins are called Indian Head and or Buffalo Nickels not buffalo head nickels.

Buffalo nickel from 1936 but the 19 is worn and the upside down on the back is it worth anything?
Your coin is over 70 years old so it's not surprising that the date is worn. And if you compare it to any other nickel in your pocket, you'll see that ALL US coins have their backs oriented 180º to the front, so your nickel is perfectly normal. Please see the Related Question for more information.
