German silver: This silver-colored metal actually contains no silver at all. It is an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. It will not polish to the high shine possible with silver alloys. Marks include German Silver and E.P.N.S (electroplated nickel silver).

What is the nickel content of a us nickel?
None. Please don't assume that all pre-1965 coins contained silver. Except during WWII, US nickels never contained silver - they've always been 75% copper alloyed with 25% nickel. From 1942 to 1945 special "war nickels" were made that contained about a gram of silver, because nickel was needed for the war effort. A 1964 U.S. nickel contains 0% silver. Only nickels issued from 1942 thru 1945 (known collectively as 'war nickels' and distinguished by their large mint marks, hovering over Monticello on the reverse) contained any silver, 35% by weight.
Are 1941 nickels all silver?
No. The only U.S. nickels that contain any silver are those dated 1942-1945, as nickel (the metal) was needed for the war effort. They are distinguished by the large mint marks on the reverse side, above Monticello. All nickels before and after contain a blend of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
Any nickel made before the 1960's is actually made of silver?
The only US nickels to ever have silver in them are The War Nickels.

For 1943 1944 1945 only silver alloy coins were struck with the return of prewar composition in 1946.
What is the silver content of a 1964 US nickel?
None. Please don't assume that all pre-1965 coins contained silver. Except during WWII, US nickels never contained silver - they've always been 75% copper alloyed with 25% nickel. From 1942 to 1945 special "war nickels" were made that contained about a gram of silver, because nickel was needed for the war effort. A 1964 U.S. nickel contains 0% silver.

What is the value of a 1967 silver US quarter?
All circulation-strike quarters dated 1965 and later are made of copper-nickel, not silver. 1967 quarters don't have mint marks and there are no major varieties, so anything that you find in change will only be worth 25¢.
Do all s mint marks have silver in them?
No. If you're referring to proof coins 1968-present, no cent or nickels have any silver. Then with dimes, quarters, and half dollars, look at the edge of the coin. A copper/nickel clad proof coin will show a ring of copper, same as any P or D versions. A silver proof won't have that, and it will also be heavier. Meanwhile, all dimes, quarters, halves, and dollars before 1965 contain silver, for all mint marks.
1966 s nickel?
