Best Answer

The Buffalo Nickel was minted from 1913 to 1938. If yours is so worn that you cannot read the date, it is worth about fifteen cents to someone who will use it to decorate a western belt or hatband. If the date is readable, its value could range from 50 cents to several thousand dollars, depending on the date, mintmark, and condition.
