It depends on the date.
From their introduction in 1866 to late 1942 and from 1946 to the present, all US nickels have been struck in the same alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
During WWII nickel metal was needed for the war effort so the Mint made special "war nickels" from an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese. That percentage of silver weighs approximately one gram, so these coins have very little precious metal value at current (2015) prices.
