Yes, nickels minted during WWII (1942-1945) and have a large mintmark (either a P, S or D) above the Monticello on the back of the coin, contain 35% silver. All other nickels are made of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
None of the new US nickels are silver.
No they do not, the ONLY nickels to have any silver are the "War Nickels" from late 1942 to 1946
No US nickels have ever been pure silver, the "war nickels" of 1942-1945 are 35% silver and are the only nickels to have any silver. Post new question.
Zero (0). The only U.S. nickels to have any silver in them are "War Nickels" dated from 1942 to 1945 and are identified by large mintmarks on the reverse. These coins have a silver content of .05626 ASW or 35% silver.
None. The only nickels with any silver in them were made from 1942 to 1945.
No Buffalo nickels were struck in silver, only the Jefferson "War Nickels" from 1942 to 1945 have any silver in them.

Never. They're called nickels for a reason. The only U.S. nickels to contain any silver at all, at 35%, were "war" nickels dated 1942-1945. Nothing before or after was made of silver.
Pre-1965 nickels are made of the same copper/nickel blend as modern nickels. The only nickels that contain any silver are those minted during WWII.
