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.

Please 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.

Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made of silver. All US nickels except special "war nickels" made during 1942-45 are struck in the same alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
