Please don't assume that every US coin minted before 1965 contains silver. US nickels made from 1866 to mid-1942 and from 1946 to the present are made of a copper-nickel alloy, not silver so if you found the coin in change it's only worth 5¢.

The US mint did not produce any silver nickels in 1961. Silver nickels were only minted from 1942 to 1945 due to the shortage of nickel during World War II. A 1961 nickel would be made of copper and nickel, and its value would be face value (5 cents) unless it is in uncirculated condition or has some other rare characteristics.
