DOES NICKEL SILVER HAVE ANY VALUE$ thank you
Valuable metals.
German silver would be much cheaper because it is a nickel alloy that doesn't actually contain silver. Sterling silver, on the other hand, is an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper (usually). Silver is much more valuable than nickel.
No, nickel is an element. Silver is another element. Neither are alloys, silver only contains silver, nickel only contains nickel. "German silver", which is not actually silver, does contain nickel. It's a silver-colored alloy of nickel, copper and zinc.
No. Nickels are called nickels because they contain nickel (and a lot of copper, too.) From mid-1942 to 1945 nickels did contain a small amount of silver because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Those "war nickels" are the ONLY ones that have any silver in them. And in any case, solid silver is far too soft for use in circulating coins. It always has to be alloyed with some other metal, usually copper, for hardness.
No silver in a 1959 nickel.

No. When dealing with highly valuable metals, the purest form of the ore is most likely more valuable because it is marketable as solely one metal as opposed to one metal tainted by another.

...If it is nickel silver it contains no silver. It is rather an alloy of nickel and copper to create the look of silver.
is there william a rogers silver nickel
No silver in a 1959 nickel.
At room temperature, Nickel is in its solid state. Nickel (Ni) melts at 1453ºC and boils at 2732ºC.
