That's a VERY broad question. Nickels were first struck in 1866 and were made at 3 different mints so there are hundreds of possibilities to choose from. For more common dates, the rules of thumb are:
- Part-silver "war nickels" dated 1942 to 1945 and with a large mint mark on the back are worth about 0.05 times the current price of silver.
- 1938 and 1939 Jefferson nickels are worth a small premium, especially if they're not very worn
- Most other Jefferson nickels aren't worth much more than face value unless they're in top-grade condition
- Buffalo nickels from the 'teens and 20's can be worth a premium ranging from 75 cents to many dollars, depending on date, condition, and mint mark.
Also, remember that popular misconceptions notwithstanding, 1964 and earlier nickels were NOT struck in 90% silver. Except for the "war nickels" mentioned above, all US nickels have been struck in an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
