The last Buffalo nickel was made in 1938. A 1942 dated Jefferson that has a large mintmark on the reverse is 35% silver and worth about $1.00. If it does not have the large mintmark just spend it.

From mid-1942 to 1945 nickels did contain a small amount of silver because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Those "war nickels" are the ONLY ones that have any silver in them.
