Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made of silver. US nickels made from 1866 to mid-1942 and from 1945 to the present are made of a copper-nickel alloy, not silver.
See the question "What is the value of a 1936 US nickel?" for more information.
From mid-1942 to 1945 nickels did contain a small amount of silver because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Those "war nickels" are the ONLY ones that have any silver in them.
