A Liberty head nickel, I'm guessing. The value is between $2 and $125. In the future, please add the condition of the coin so I can value it more precisely for you.
Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made of silver. Except for so-called "War nickels" made from 1942 to 1945, all US nickels are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel, and do not contain any silver.Please see the question "What is the value of a 1905 US nickel?" for more information.
A 1905 Liberty Head nickel is a common coin and depending on how much wear the coin has, they sell for 1 to 5 dollars on average. A nice Mint State example with full mint luster can be as much as $65.00 or more
There was no "victory nickel" struck in the US. There was, however a Canadian Victory Nickel, and there were US nickels struck with 35% silver (from 1942-1945 with a large mintmark on the reverse above the Monticello) and those are worth $1.50 or so.MoreIf your nickel is a US coin dated 1883 to 1912 with a picture of Miss Liberty on the front, please look up the Roman numeral for "five". It's the letter V, and is the coin's denomination.
Remember Roman numerals? V = 5, not 10, so you have a nickel. That's also why it's the size of a nickel, not the size of a dime. Please see the Related Question for values.
Face value. Victory nickels are worth 5 cents. The exception is the 1944 coin made of an alloy called Tombac. They are incredibly rare, worth @ $10,000. The steel nickel is worth .10cents (in mint).
