1 cent. It's plated. All 1952 cents were made of bronze. And in any case, the U.S. has never made a silver cent - it would have more than a dime's worth of silver in it, and no one was interested in losing 9 cents on every coin.

It's a very common mistake people make that all nickels made before 1965 are silver. The only nickels to have any silver are the "War Nickels" struck from late 1942 through 1945. A 1952 nickel is not rare. They are still found in circulation. Unless it's uncirculated, the coin is face value.
From what country? The last U.S. silver dollars were made in 1935.

Yes, if a coin is a copy, it likely means that it is not made of silver or any other precious metal. Copies are usually made from cheaper materials to mimic the appearance of the original coin without the intrinsic value. It is important to be cautious when dealing with copies, especially if you are looking for genuine silver coins.
Assuming you refer to the 1981 British 25 Pence coin (Crown), it is made from a copper-nickel alloy. If you have a sterling silver Proof coin, it will state somewhere on the packaging that the coin is made from sterling silver.
