The date is worn off, so there's no non-destructive way to tell when it was minted.

Buffalo nickels* had a design flaw that caused the date to wear off very quickly, but the Mint was never able to completely correct the problem. Dateless buffalo nickels usually sell for 15 to 25 cents as conversation pieces but have no other numismatic value.

There are certain acid-containing products that can reveal parts of the date where the metal flowed under the coin's surface during testing. However these considered to be destructive methods and don't make the coin worth anything extra.
