A uncirculated 1954 Jefferson Nickel (note spelling) is 25 cents. A coin without a 'D' or 'S' mintmark was made at the Philadelphia Mint. If you found it in change, it's likely not uncirculated. The coin contains no silver and is just face value.

It's still only worth 5 cents.
75% copper 25% nickel
If you got them in change spend them only uncirculated coins are worth more than face value.
The coin is still only face value unless it's uncirculated then it may be worth 50 cents
Five cents
Not gold, gold-plated. Assuming 1954 is correct, it's only worth 5 cents. The gold plating is too thin to be worth recovering, and it means the coin has been damaged in the process.
A coin found in circulation today is likely only face value. Just a high grade uncirculated coin is worth more than 5 cents. Spend it.
Look at the coin again and post new question. The last year for a "S" mintmark Jefferson nickel is 1954 until 1968.

The 1954 Jefferson Nickel was minted in Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. The value depends on where it was minted and what condition the coin was in. There was also a variety coin.Here are the prices according to USA Coin Book:Philadelphia: In MS60 mint condition, this coin is worth about $0.95. In MS65 Brilliant uncirculated condition, it is worth about $2.75. There was also proof coins minted here which are worth about $20 in PR65 grade.Denver: In MS60 mint condition, this coin is worth about $0.55.

In MS65 Brilliant uncirculated condition, it is worth about $2.75.S over D Variety: This variety came out of San Francisco and basically the mint pressed coins that were already minted in Denver so you will see an "S" mint mark on top of a "D" mint mark. In MS60 mint condition, this coin is worth about $24. In MS65 Brilliant uncirculated condition, it is worth about $75.S over D Variety: The "Overmintmarks" varieties of the Jefferson Nickel are caused from the use of a working die originally made for the Denver Mint that for some reason was put in service at the San Francisco Mint and overpunched with the "S" Mintmark, not from the above answer.If it is not a proof or a certified high-grade uncirculated coin it's pretty much worth a nickel. If it has an S mintmark on the back, a lightly circulated 1954 nickel might be worth a quarter.
Actually less than a nickel. It's worth about 3 cents.
