You have what is referred to as a Wartime nickel. It is composed of 35% silver, with the balance being copper and manganese. The silver gives it a "melt value" of about 95 cents (as of December 2009) regardless of condition. 1943S is among the more common of the wartime nickels, so your coin is probably worth about $2-$5 in nice circulated condition, and perhaps $10-$15 in Uncirculated condition.
In circulation they're always worth the face value of the bill. As for the collector value, in very good condition (not a grading phrase) they will usually be worth $3-$4 depending on the year they were printed, and possibly much more if they're older than 1935, or are special such as the wartime bills printed for use in Hawaii and North Africa. If in mint condition they could be worth a few dollars more. There are exceptions that are worth much more. See related link below.
