The famous "three-legged buffalo" error occurred on 1937-D nickels when a Mint employee over-zealously polished a die.
As of 02/2015 these coins sell for anywhere from $500 in the least-collectible worn state all the way up to almost $120,000 in top quality. There are many fakes made by removing the 4th leg on a normal 1937-D nickel so any apparent error coin should be professionally evaluated.

No such coin exists. There is a state quarter (or two, can't remember) which features a buffalo, I believe it is the Kansas one, but these coins are only worth face value because they are modern and commonly found in change. Chances are you are talking about the Buffalo nickel produced from 1913-1938 and values are very different depending on year, mintmark and condition.
