In 2013 a hundred years ago would have been in 1913. In 1913 2 types of nickels were made. On type 1 the buffalo on the reverse side is standing a a raised mound. On type 2 the mound is flat. Type 2 nickels are worth considerably more if they have a D or S mintmark. The mintmark is located below the words "FIVE CENTS" on the reverse side of the coin.

Below are average values for 1913 nickels in circulated condition. You may get more or less when you take them to a collector.

Type 1 Nickels:

No mintmark $6-$30

D mintmark $14-$60

S mintmark $3-$100

Type 2 Nickels:

No mintmark $6-$30

D mintmark $84-$250

S mintmark $250-$800

If you believe you have a valuable coin the best thing to do is take it to a reputable collector and have him/her examine it.

How much is a 100 year old nickel worth?

It depends on what year you're writing the question! It's far better to give the coin's exact date - a nickel that's 100 years old in 2010 will be 101 years old in 2011, so the question won't be valid anymore! Use the large box at the top of the page to enter the question What is the value of a <date> US nickel?, where <date> is the date on your coin. In general nickels from the period 1900 to 1911 are worth about $2-3 in worn condition but using the question box will take you to a more exact answer.

What is the value of a silver 1937 Indian head nickel?

Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made of silver. Like modern nickels, all buffalo nickels were struck in an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1937 US nickel?" for more information.


What is the value of a 1940 silver nickel?

Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made out of silver. These coins are called "nickels" because ... they're made from nickel (and copper). The only nickels to contain any silver were the so-called "war nickels" minted from 1942 to 1945. Your nickel, and all others ever minted except for war nickels, is made of 75% copper and 25% nickel. There's more information at the question "What is the value of a 1940 US nickel?"

What is the worth of a 1532 year old nickel?

Such a coin does not exist, nickel really wasn't used for coinage until the mid-1800s, most coins created in the first millennium AD are of gold, silver, and copper and alloys of them. If you really think you have a 1532 year old nickel, provide the country of origin, the denomination and other identifying characteristics to help us determine a value.
