No. It's the same copper/nickel blend as every* other U.S. nickel minted since 1866. There were a billion of them minted in 1964, and it's worth 5 cents.
*The only U.S. nickels to contain any silver are the "war nickels" of 1942-1945.

Please don't assume that because a coin is old it must contain silver. All nickels except the famous "war nickels" from 1942-45 are made of the same metal, an alloy of copper and nickel. Silver was used in dimes, quarters, and halves up to 1964 but the lowly nickel wasn't worth enough to contain any silver even back then. There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1946 US nickel?". No such (US) coin exists. 35% Silver nickels were only made from 1942-1945 with a large mintmark over the Monticello. All nickels before or since have been made out of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
