The coin is a Indian Head nickel but is commonly called a Buffalo nickel. 1938 was the last year the coins were made and all of them were struck at the Denver Mint so there is a "D" mintmark on the reverse under FIVE CENTS. None of them were ever struck in silver, most coins have values of $3.00-$5.00
Buffalo nickels only ever used one design. The Indian's portrait is a composite, as is the buffalo's, although they were both based on actual individuals.
Not with that date. The Buffalo Nickel was minted from 1913 through 1938.
