To find that out exactly, you need to know where the market is. I dont have exact info but I saw a petrified buffalo skull and horns on sale for 1500 on something called busacca. First of all, buffalo are not extinct so dont expect millions. Also, as with anything, condition is everything. How many pieces is it in, is it complete from jawbone to horns, is there damage from extraction, that kind of stuff.
About 50-100 dollars

To clear things up, the coins are called Indian head or Buffalo nickels, not "buffalo head". After all, they show the whole animal on the back, not just its head! Buffalo nickels had a design defect that caused the dates to wear off quickly. Unfortunately without the date you have what's called a "cull" with very little value. Buffalo culls sell for perhaps 15 to 25 cents in a dealer's grab box.
They usually sell for about 10 to 15 cents. Crafty people use them to decorate belts and make domed buttons. Note that these coins are called Buffalo Nickels or Indian Head Nickels, but not "Buffalo Head" nickels. After all, they show the whole buffalo and not just its head! ========================= The mint mark will be located on the back side under the words FIVE CENTS. Nickels minted in Philadelphia do not have a letter, though. Also, nickels minted from 1913 to 1925 had a design flaw that allowed their dates to wear off quickly. Unfortunately these "cull" nickels aren't worth much more than face value. The link below lists prices.
In many places, it is illegal to sell petrified wood that has been illegally removed from public lands. If the petrified wood is legally obtained from private land or purchased from a reputable dealer, it is typically legal to sell. It's important to research and comply with the laws and regulations in your specific area.
There's no coin called a "buffalo head" nickel. They're called Indian Head nickels or buffalo nickels - after all, it shows the entire buffalo! All rare buffalo nickels are error coins; i.e. coins with a minting mistake. The most valuable is a 1916 coin where the date was put on the die twice, resulting in the digits "16" appearing twice. As of 02/2105 these "1916 over 16" coins sell for about $3700 in the lowest collectible condition, all the way up to over $450,000 for top-quality specimens.

Check that coin again. The first year for buffalo nickels was 1913.
There were no hunters from the east and they did sell the hides. There WERE men to practiced total war on the plains tribes by killing as many buffalo as they could. They killed millions of buffalo because the Native Americans used them.
If Buffalo Wild Thing is really Buffalo Wild Wings, they sell the sauces in bottles at the cashier station.
Buffalo or Indian Head, not "buffalo head". The whole buffalo is on the back, not its head.And you don't "cash it in", either. You'd only get 5 cents for it from a bank. You need to sell it. You'll get more if you sell on eBay but you can save a lot of hassle by going to a coin dealer.First you need to know the coin's condition and mint mark. The mint mark, if there is one, would be a small D or S under the words FIVE CENTS.If your coin doesn't have a D or S, it's the most common variety and might bring anywhere from 50 cents to 4 or 5 dollars from a dealer, depending on how worn it is.If it has an S, it might be worth $3 to $55, and with a D, $5 to $80.
Anywhere from aproxamately 15 cents to 25 cents, depending one the person you sell it to.
