War nickels contain about 1.5 gm of silver so they're worth about 1/20 of the current price of 1 oz of silver for the metal alone.

A high-grade one can be worth up to $300 depending on condition.

What is the value of a roll of uncirculated Jefferson Nickels worth?

It depends greatly on the year and mintmark. For example, if you go to enough banks, you will most likely find an uncirculated roll of 2013 nickels sold to you at face. On the other hand, for uncirculated war nickels (1942-1945) or other early date Jefferson nickels, they'd be worth much more.
