No it's not. 1945 was the last year. All the silver "War Nickels" (1942-1945) have large mintmarks on the reverse above the dome of Monticello.
From 1946 to date, the coins are made from copper-nickel. Only the "War Nickels" from late 1942-1945 were 35% silver. No other U.S. nickels of any date contain any silver.
No silver in a 1959 nickel.
Nickel silver is an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc, and it was used to make 'silver' coins that were previously made in silver or 50% silver. British coins were silver up to 1921 and 50% silver until 1946, and then they were made of nickel silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver.

Yes, for centuries. They were made of .925 fine (i.e. 92.5%) silver until 1919. That year the composition was reduced to .500 fine silver which lasted until 1946. Postwar austerity and currency revaluation forced the coins to be made of copper-nickel after that.
