 Easiest method would be to purchase a copy of what is called the Red Book by Whitman Publishig. There you could see their dates, amount minted, approximate values, and a bit more. Or you could just go to Google and type in Indian Head Nickels ( Buffalo nickels) and see what they say there. Might get a lot of info that way too. Another method is to use ebay for an idea of what is out there.

Is a 1938 D uncirculated worth anything

Mike, By using the 2013 Red Book price guide, an uncirculated (MS-63) 1938-D Buffalo nickel lists at $36. This is about the cheapest of the Buffalo nickels. Not counting weird error coins like the 1937-D 'three legged' variety, the most expensive regular coins in uncirculated condition seem to be 1918-S, 1921-S, 1924-S, 1926-D and 1927-S. Each of these are listed at over $2,000 in the Red Book. In really low grades, the 1913-D Variety 2 and 1913-S Variety 2 are the most expensive.

In circulated condition, the "key dates" are: 1913-d Type2, 1913-s Type2, 1914-d, 1915-s, 1921-s, 1924-s, 1926-s and 1931-s. A low grade complete buffalo set (AG-XF), with some restored dates, can usually be had for about $150-$200.
