The coin is NOT silver. Most circulated coins are valued at $1.00-$3.00. The 1901 Liberty Head nickel is not rare or scarce.
If the V on the back is missing, it's possible that it's simply worn off from use. In such condition, it isn't worth much, perhaps $2 or so.
Indian Head Nickels (with a buffalo on the back) were only minted from 1913 to 1938, so I have to assume you have something else -- perhaps a Liberty Head Nickel (with a big "V" on the back)? A well-worn 1891 Liberty Head Nickel is worth about $3.00
Answer The woman is of course Miss Liberty! These are not rare dates for Liberty Head Nickels -- unless the 1912 has an "S" mintmark on the reverse at about 8 o'clock by the rim. In well-worn condition, but with complete rims and lettering on both sides, they're worth about $1.00 apiece -- the 1912-S would be worth about $100 If the word LIBERTY (in the headband) is complete and easily readable, then they're worth about $6.00 apiece -- the 1912-S would be worth about $350 Nice uncirculated ones are worth about $50 -- the 1912-S is about $1,000
The nickel was never made with silver, it is made with nickel, hence the name.

If there is one, it would be on the reverse below the button to the left of the word CENTS. Philadelphia nickels will not have any mint mark, of course.
The Philadelphia issue 1912 Liberty Head Nickel is a common coin and most show a lot of wear and have retail values of $1.00-$3.00
No they are made of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
Not silver, copper-nickel. Remember Roman numerals? "V" stands for 5, so you have a 5 cent coin, i.e. a nickel. Please see the Related Question for more information.
