1953 is not considered to be a rare year for nickels. Look to the right of Monticello on the back of the coin to see if there's a small D or S mint mark. Numismedia lists the following retail values as of 10/2009:

No mint mark:
Average circulated condition: 8 to 10 cents
Uncirculated - $0.25 to $11 depending on how well-struck it is.

"D" mint mark:
Average circulated condition: 8 to 12 cents
Uncirculated - $0.30 to $20

"S" mint mark:
Average circulated condition: 8 to 20 cents
Uncirculated - $1 to $25

What is a 1953 nickel worth?

In average worn condition, a 1953 nickel has a retail value of about 7 cents. Except for 1942-1945 "war nickels" and the less-common 1950-D variety, older Jefferson nickels can still be found in circulation and are rarely worth much more than face value. Because nickel is not a precious metal, the coin's composition was not changed in 1964 when silver was removed from higher-denomination coins, so there is no difference between a new nickel and an older one.
