....none. All nickels with the exception of the ones minted during WWII (the ones dated 1942-1945 with the large mintmark over the Monticello contain 35% silver) are 75% copper, 25% nickel. There are no silver buffalo nickels.

What is used in magnets more often Nickel or Silver?
Nickel is used to make magnets more often than silver is, for two main reasons: 1). Silver is much more expensive than nickel. 2). Silver is diamagnetic. That means it has a weak, negative susceptibility to magnetic fields, it's slightly repelled by a magnetic field, and it does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. That means that even if silver were much cheaper than nickel, silver makes crummy magnets that are totally useless as magnets, and you would just have to use nickel anyway.

Is there nickel in sterling silver 925?
It depends on the manufacturer, some do use nickel as a filler, some use copper, and other metals as a filler, but if it says 925 on it I wouldn't worry too much about it.
