5 cents. It's not silver. All nickels except the famous "war nickels" from 1942-45 are made of the same metal, an alloy of copper and nickel. Silver was used in dimes, quarters, and halves up to 1964 but the lowly nickel wasn't worth enough to contain any silver even back then. There's more information at the Related Question.
