There are a handful of particularly valuable nickels. Going in reverse chronological order, these include the 1937-D 3-leg, 1921-S, 1918/17-D, 1914-D, 1913-D and -S type 2, 1912-S, 1886, 1885, 1881, and 1871. The 1879 and 1880 are so rare that a value isn't even listed in some sources.

Yes, there are certain rare US nickels, such as the 1913 Liberty Head nickel or the 1942/1 overdate Jefferson nickel, that have sold for significantly more than $100, ranging into the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars at auction. These coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their scarcity and historical significance.

Are there any nickels that are worth more than face value?
Yes, "War Nickels" or nickels struck from 1942-1945 that have a large mintmark over the Monticello are 35% silver and are worth around $1.50 at the time of writing. Pre-Jefferson nickels are usually worth at least a bit more than face and proof or uncirculated nickels also give you a premium. ------ Many nickels are worth more than "face" value, For example - ALL of the Liberty Head nickels are worth more than face (they were minted from 1883 to 1912) Then came the buffalo nickels - Virtually all of those are worth more than face. After the buffs came the Jefferson nickel. In addition to the "war nickels" (as stated above) there are "key date" Jefferson nickels that are worth more than face. To list a few examples...the 1950D (Denver mint) is a rare (key) date and is worth around 10 to 20 dollars on eBay. Also the 1939D is a key - it sells for around 10 dollars on eBay...depending on condition. In mint state these coins can bring 100 dollars plus. To sum it up. as many Jefferson nickels are worth more than face, it would be difficult to list them all. The easiest way would be for you to ask us here about a specific date. Make certain to include the mint mark (if any) and a rough idea of condition. Or just get a coin value book at the library ( the Red Book) or look it up on eBay as to approximate the selling value.

Can different kinds of nickels be worth more than 5 cents?
Many older US nickels can be worth more than face value, in some cases a LOT more, but the prices depend VERY much on the coins' dates, conditions, and mint marks. A few examples:"War nickels" dated 1942 to 1945 with a large mint mark on the back are worth 75 cents to a dollar in average condition. These special nickels contain 1.75 gm of silver, and are the only US nickels to ever contain that metal.Average-condition buffalo nickels with visible dates can be worth at least a dollar, and sometimes much more depending on their date and mint mark.Average-condition Liberty Head nickels are worth at lease 2 or 3 dollars each.Rarities like a 1937 nickel with a 3-legged buffalo, or a 1917/18 overdate, can be worth hundreds of dollarsThe five 1913 Liberty Head nickels, an unauthorized striking, have sold for up to roughly $4 million.

5 cents, no Jefferson nickels other than some of the first ones in the 1930s and silver war nickels made in 1942-1945 are worth any more than face. The 2004 nickels wouldn't be worth more than 5 cents unless it was proof, which because it was from the Denver mint, it would not be proof.

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. Except for the "war nickels" mentioned above, all nickels have been made of a cupronickel (25% Ni / 75% Cu) alloy.
