What is it I have an old five cent coin with the American Indian and Buffalo on either side but no evidence of year it was produced?
Sounds like you are describing a buffalo nickel
MoreCorrect, it's a buffalo (a/k/a Indian Head) nickel. Unfortunately the date wore off many early-date buffalo nickels (1913 to 1925) due to a design defect. These coins remain extremely common and sell for 10 to 25 cents in a dealer's "grab box".The design flaw was corrected in 1926 so later buffalo nickels are normally found with intact dates.
