Indian head nickels were minted from 1913 to early 1938.
If your coin doesn't have a date on the front it was probably minted before 1926, but so-called "no date" nickels are not valuable. They usually sell for a quarter or so as culls or curiosity pieces. The reason is that early-date Indian head nickels had a design flaw that left the date region vulnerable to extra wear. The cupronickel alloy used for 5¢ coins is relatively hard so the flaw didn't become evident for almost a decade. By that time hundreds of millions had been struck, and the dates eventually wore off most of them.
There is no such thing as an Indian head nickel minted in 1895. The first Indian head nickel was minted in 1913; prior to that was the Barber nickel, with the head of Liberty.

The first Indian Head/Buffalo Nickel was minted in Philadephia in the year 1913. The coin is actually called a buffalo nickel or an Indian head nickel, but not "buffalo head". After all, it shows the entire buffalo, not just its head :)
No it is made from an alloy of copper and nickel.
The Indian Head Nickel (aka - Buffalo Nickel) is graded very fine if: much of the horn is visible and the Indian's cheek bone is only slightly worn.
