Look at the back of the coin for the word "CENTS" under the wreath. 1883 was the first year of issue for this coin and the early coins did not have cents on the reverse, they added it later. It makes a big difference in value. Post new question.
There were 2 different types of nickels made in 1883. If your coin has a shield on the front it's called a Shield Nickel (for obvious reasons). If it has a picture of Miss Liberty and a large Roman numeral V on the back it's called a Liberty nickel. The value depends ENTIRELY on its condition.
The coin is a 1898 Liberty Head nickel (1883-1912) most show very heavy wear and are valued at $5.00-$9.00.
You have what's called a Liberty nickel or sometimes a V nickel. Remember Roman numerals? V = 5. There's more information at the Related Question.

There were no V nickels minted in 1867. That design was introduced in 1883. If you have a shield nickel with that date it's worth $30 to $80 if the design has rays on it, $16 to $40 if there are no rays.

That would be the Liberty nickel, minted from 1883 through 1912. V is Roman for 5.
