It can't be a genuine 1933 buffalo nickel. No nickels were made in 1932 and 1933 due to the Depression.
Unless it's some kind of privately-made bullion piece it's unlikely to be silver, either. All buffalo nickels were struck in the same alloy of 75% copper / 25% nickel that has been used for all 5-cent pieces except the famous "war nickels" made during WW 2.
