Unfortunately, not a lot. With no mint mark (it would appear under 'FIVE CENTS' on the Buffalo side of the coin), there were about 63 Million produced. Your's is in good to fine condition, which should put it in the $1.50 - $3 range.

That being said, it's still one of my favorite coins.

Edit: I should add. This is commonly known as a 'Buffalo Nickel'. While the indian seems the most likely identifier for this coin, it's the Buffalo on the reverse that is unique to this coin (at least I think it is anyway).

add to that, it may be silver colored, But it is not made of Silver.

Just to let you know,, in case you were advised different.

If the Buffalo was 3 legged (single front leg profile) then the price would jump and then the value would be based on condition.

Chances are that there are a great many such coins in that age range in the UK due to WWII military personnel...
