I'm assuming you're referring to nickels that have the head of Thomas Jefferson on them."Silver" nickels were minted from 1942-45 during WWII because nickel was needed during the war effort. These nickels are distinguished by a large mint mark on the reverse above the dome of Monticello. They are referred to as silver nickels because their composition contained 35% silver. Other than a few mint errors that occurred in 1943 and 45, the average circulated silver nickel would be worth .50 to .75 cents.

Why is a dime so small but a nickel so big but the dime is worth more?

The reason is because the dime used to be made of silver, while the nickel has always been a copper/nickel blend. Silver is worth more, which is why the coin could be smaller, but worth more. There used to be a silver half-dime, but the coin was so small that it was replaced by the nickel.


How is much is 112 lbs of American quarters worth?

It depends if they are copper-nickel (post-1964) or 90% silver quarters (1964 and earlier). If they are copper-nickel, dated 1965 and earlier, they are only worth face, if they are silver, they are worth the silver content.
