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.

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.
