Best Answer

That's a very broad question because there are about 90 different combinations of dates, mint marks, and major varieties. Most Jefferson nickels dated 1938 to 1963 are not worth a significant premium, but there are some exceptions:

  • 1938-D : $1 to $30 depending on condition
  • 1938-S : $1 to $25
  • 1939-D : $2 to $80
  • "War nickels" 1942 to 1945 : $2 to $15
  • 1950-D : $5 to $20

Except for those "war nickels" that contain about 1.5 gm of silver, ALL other US nickels regardless of date are made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper. The only 90% silver denominations made up to 1964 were dimes, quarters, and halves.

What is the value of 1964 Lincoln nickel?

If such a coin existed it would be spectacularly valuable, but all 1964 nickels - in fact, all US nickels made since 1938 - carry a picture of Thomas Jefferson. Abraham Lincoln has been on the cent since 1909.In any case 1964-dated nickels are very common. Any found in pocket change are generally only worth face value.
