Same as a regular nickel, 5 cents. They're actually bison nickels, not buffalo nickels, and were issued as part of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. The last Indian head nickels were dated 1938; ALL nickels since then - including the bison ones - have a picture of President Thomas Jefferson.
First let's call it what it is ... It is not the older 'buffalo nickel' ... It is a 'bison nickel'. Do not be confused. The REAL "Speared Bison" nickel is ONLY FOUND in the date: 2005-D. There are no "P" mint 'speared bison' nickels. Any P mint examples are NOT the true Speared Bison. (See more about this below under 'Buyer Beware'.) The 2005 Bison Nickel was issued the 2nd year of the Westward Journey nickel series by the US Mint. The Buffalo Nickels are the older ones from twenties, thirties, etc.
You can find the current price for certified examples of the 2005-D Speared Bison Nickel, by grade, at PCGS.com. This error is recognized by PCGS, and prices vary from $150 - $500 range in the more common grades of MS64 and MS65. Higher grades of MS66 are very rare and bring more money. MS67grade is far and few between and are way more expensive.
'Raw', uncertified examples' prices range lower depending upon the condition of the coin. You can find a cheaper variety that has 'rolling machine' damage on the obverse of the coin, yet still has the intact spear on the reverse of nickel.

BUYER BEWARE . . . DO NOT BE FOOLED!! Very Important to Note: HOW TO SPOT AN AUTHENTIC SPEARED BISON NICKEL. The TRUE "Speared Bison" has a 'spear' (line) that can be viewed best by turning the coin sideways (with bison head pointing towards your body) and tilting it 'back and forth' into the light. The 'spear' starts just before the 'E' in StatEs of America and goes down into and through the bison to underneath his body.
There are 'fake' and wannabe 'speared bison' nickels out there, as others tried to jump on to the 'speared bison' bandwagon. There are several fake speared bisons, such as the wounded bison, the 'rump' variety, and a few others.
About one BILLION were made and the coins are still in circulation, so if you got it in change just spend it, even high grade Mint State coins are only 10 to 25 cents retail.
Millions of the 2006 North Dakota quarter's are still in circulation. It's just face value.
