Found one on ebay with an opening bid of $17 (no bids yet):

Not sure if you have the inserts that are shown with this one but the CoA shows that it is from American Historic Society. This might help you do some more research.

Your big buffalo is a fairly modern "coaster" or paperweight. The date will be 1913 on the other side and they are pretty common. They mimic the older Lucky Penny and Lucky Nickel souvenirs. Your 5 Buffalo nickels are well worn and I would bet they are dateless on the other side from wear. I hate to break the news to you but your folder has very little numismatic value. There are many framed coin items out there too that made use of plated and/or polished coins with patriotic or old west artwork. These sort of items are more of a novelty that were sold in the 1960's and 1970's to people who really didn't know much about coin collecting. Aim higher!

Here's another on ebay for $13. Probably about 8 bucks more than I'd be willing to spend...

Based on the clippings included with this one, it looks to have originally sold for about $23.

Have no intention on selling, but was looking for info on when these were made n such since the backside doesn't show the coins. Definitely worn and as I said was a gift to me. Thanks for some info though, it does have the historic society card which describes the years of mint. etc..

Being it was a gift, it has great value. I certainly didn't mean to be insulting. Enjoy!

No worries, I do enjoy having it in the collection as I haven't gotten any other Buffalo nickels and was a gift.
Thanks for the input on them (:

Yep, as TNG said, it being a gift there is value to you more important than monetary.

Definitely Celtic, always means more to me when it's a gift from someone who was thinking of you.
I must say I'm curious to break the seal and look at the nickels closer though. Haha
