In spite of the S mint mark your coin really doesn't have any extra value.

The San Francisco Mint was reactivated to strike cents and nickels for circulation during the late 1960s and early 1970s while Philadelphia and Denver concentrated on replacing higher-denomination silver coins that had been melted for their metal value. So while an S mint coin from that time may seem unusual, it really isn't - in fact, nickel mintages at San Francisco were about at the same level as Denver during that time.

Also, if you check other nickels minted since 1965 you'll see they ALL have the small letters FS either under the fold of Jefferson's coat or next to Monticello - those are simply the initials of Felix Schlag who created the coin's original design.

Why does your silver chain attract to a magnet?

Your silver chain contains nickel if it attracts to a magnet. That means the silver alloy is not sterling .925. It may be a lower grade silver alloy containing less pure silver. Or, it may be a silver colored base metal alloy that contains no real silver at all. Look for a quality stamp or hallmark for further verification of quality.

What does 825 F stamped on jewelry mean?

10k Edit by Cjulsh 10k is incorrect. 10k jewelry would be stamped 417 which is the amount of gold content. 10k is 41.7% gold. 825 is a lower grade of silver...most silver pieces would have a stamp of 925 which is 92.5% silver. Some pieces will use a lower grade silver 825 or 82.5% silver.
