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 1910 Nickel with a lady and thirteen stars on the front and V Cents on the back?

I have the same nickel and just looked it up today. It is called a Liberty "V" Nickel. The "lady" is of course Miss Liberty! The 1910 nickel that I have is worth 75 cents. If you would have gotten a 1913 Liberty nickel it would have been worth over $2.5 million. There are only 5 of those nickels known and all are in collections. More: According to USA Coin Book, the value for a coin in good condition is worth about $1.90. A coin in MS60 mint condition is worth about $66 while a coin in MS63 Choice Uncirculated condition is worth about $93. If you are lucky enough to have a proof coin in MS63 choice proof condition, it would easily be worth over $260. View the link below for more prices based on intermediate coin conditions.

What is the value of a 1936 Indian head nickel with the buffalo upside down?

If you check the coins in your pocket change you'll see that they all have the front and back oriented 180º to each other. The sides point oppositely when a coin is flipped side to side like the page of a book, so being "upside down" is perfectly normal.

How much does an Indian nickel of 1820?

There were no nickels minted by the USA in 1820 - the first was the Shield Type, minted in 1866. Before that, there were some "half-dimes" minted, but none in 1820. The first "Indian-Head" or sometimes called "Buffalo" Nickel was minted from 1916 through 1938 - if THIS is what you meant, the 1920 "Indian-Head" nickel commands a variety of values, depending on condition and MintMark, and could be quoted at anywhere from $1.50 to over $300.oo ... check your library for a copy of "A Guide Book of United States Coins" by R.
