It's a Jefferson Nickel not a Monticello Nickel an most are just 5 cents unless it in the grade of FV-20 or better and has a D or S mint mark then value goes up. But without that information an accurate assessment is not possible.

What is a 1939 T II Jefferson nickel?
1939 Jefferson nickels were struck with two slightly different reverse dies. Type I nickels, also know as "reverse of 1938", were struck using the reverse design from the prior year. They're characterized by a weakly-defined and somewhat wavy set of steps at the base of Monticello's columns. In addition the blocks at either side of the steps can appear to be rounded rather than rectangular. Type II nickels resulted when the Mint re-engraved the steps to straighten them, improve their definition, and square off the blocks at either end. That die hub was carried over to the next year so 1939 Type II nickels are also called "reverse of 1940". The design change was made early in 1939 so the great majority of nickels from that year are Type II. In any case the differences can be difficult to spot if the coins are worn.
What is the value of US nickels before 1962?
That's a VERY broad question. Nickels were first struck in 1866 and were made at 3 different mints so there are hundreds of possibilities to choose from. For more common dates, the rules of thumb are:Part-silver "war nickels" dated 1942 to 1945 and with a large mint mark on the back are worth about 0.05 times the current price of silver.1938 and 1939 Jefferson nickels are worth a small premium, especially if they're not very wornMost other Jefferson nickels aren't worth much more than face value unless they're in top-grade conditionBuffalo nickels from the 'teens and 20's can be worth a premium ranging from 75 cents to many dollars, depending on date, condition, and mint mark.Also, remember that popular misconceptions notwithstanding, 1964 and earlier nickels were NOT struck in 90% silver. Except for the "war nickels" mentioned above, all US nickels have been struck in an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
What is the value of a Jefferson nickel?
The value depends on the date, mint mark, and condition. Basically anything you find in your pocket change, if it's from after 1945, is worth face value. Nickels 1938-41 are worth a little more, especially the 1939-D at $3 or more. Those minted 1942-45 were made with silver and are worth at least $1.50. Then the 1950-D has value because of its low mintage. That one is worth a couple dollars or more.

Are there any post 1964 nickels that are valuable?
No, and most pre-1964 Jefferson nickels aren't especially valuable either. Contrary to popular misunderstanding, 1964 nickels were not made of silver - they're struck in the same 25% nickel / 75% copper alloy used for almost all nickels since the coin was introduced in 1866.Dates to look for include 1950-D, war nickels (more below), and 1938 and 1939."War nickels" are the only silver US nickels ever minted. They were struck from late 1942 through 1945 using an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. War nickels can be identified by a large mint mark letter over the dome of Monticello on the back.

What nickels are worth more than their face value?
That's a VERY broad question. Nickels were first struck in 1866 and were made at 3 different mints so there are hundreds of possibilities to choose from. For more common dates, the rules of thumb are:Part-silver "war nickels" dated 1942 to 1945 and with a large mint mark on the back are worth about 0.05 times the current price of silver.1938 and 1939 Jefferson nickels are worth a small premium, especially if they're not very wornMost other Jefferson nickels aren't worth much more than face value unless they're in top-grade conditionBuffalo nickels from the 'teens and 20's can be worth a premium ranging from 75 cents to many dollars, depending on date, condition, and mint mark.Also, remember that popular misconceptions notwithstanding, pre-1965 nickels were NOT struck in 90% silver.

Are copper pennies worth saving?
That depends on what you are saving them for. If you are referring to nickels out of pocket change here are a few to look for. Some 1942 and all of 1943-1945 nickels are made of a silver alloy (35% silver) the value of the silver far exceeds the value of the coin. The 1950-D had an unusually low mintage and caries a premium over other dates of that era although not a high value item by any means. There are some varieties that with a lot of searching can still be found although they are increasingly rare in circulation. 1949-D over S, 1954-S over D, 1955-D over S are the ones that come to mind. After that the nickel was produced in such huge quantities and hoarded by the roll that supply has far exceeded demand and there is little in the way of anything to keep aside.
Why would anyone counterfeit a 1944 nickel?
You've got to remember that in 1954 a nickel could buy you a lot more than a nickel could today. Also, the metal value was much lower (unlike today where a nickel contains nearly 6 cents worth of metal!) meaning that if someone took the 75% copper and 25% nickel used to make a nickel it might only be worth 2-3 cents, leaving the counterfeiter to profit by 2 cents. In 1954 Francis Henning counterfeited several varieties of nickels such as nickels dated 1939, 1946, 1947 and 1953 and spent them for their face value. However Henning was caught because all genuine US nickels dated 1944 are made out of 35% silver and have a large P, D or S over the Monticello, something that Henning forgot to add when he counterfeited the nickels. Today though, Henning nickels are collectable and the 1944 one is the most easily identified because of the lack of a mintmark over the Monticello and they have moderate value, ranging from $50-100 depending on current collector demand. The love of money is the root of all evil.
