Welcome to Numista. If by "stamp" you mean mint mark, that coin was minted in Philadelphia as coins struck there did not place a mint mark on the coin while the D (very valuable) and S mint mark indicate they were produced at the Denver mint and San Francisco mint respectively.
Judging from the photograph the 1885 Liberty nickel looks to be in VG condition and genuine. The value is anywhere between $250 wholesale and $650 retail depending on who wants it and how badly they want it. To get a better indication of authenticity weight, composition, diameter should be verified and it should be looked at by an expert. Nice find.
Very true. Yet someone with experience would be able to sell such a desirable item at close to trending value. It is not the highest grade, but it is problem free: no major nicks or scratches; uniformly toned; rather higher grade reverse.
If she wants to trade it, then she should should rely on the trending value, just as her swap partner should do with his/her coins.

I pointed this out because the poster is new with no experience, no knowledge and no swaps. I don't think I have to tell you about newbies thinking they are going to get top dollar right from the start. She will be swarmed by the sharks and low ballers right out of the gate and it will take a lot of effort and patience to get top value for it or even close to it. God forbid she takes it to a pawn shop or unscrupulous coin dealer.
Sorry. I forgot to mention that even right here on Numista, the "swap value" of that coin is $76.93 in AU condition. That is pure fiction so I am just trying to steer her in the right direction. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3683.html
