There's no coin called a "buffalo head" nickel. They're called Indian Head nickels or buffalo nickels - after all, it shows the entire buffalo!
All rare buffalo nickels are error coins; i.e. coins with a minting mistake. The most valuable is a 1916 coin where the date was put on the die twice, resulting in the digits "16" appearing twice. As of 02/2105 these "1916 over 16" coins sell for about $3700 in the lowest collectible condition, all the way up to over $450,000 for top-quality specimens.
