There is no such coin. All US nickels except the famous "war nickels" of 1942-45 have been made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
If your coin appears to be copper, it could be plated or it could be discolored from exposure to chemicals or heat.
If you're absolutely certain it's not made of cupronickel it should be evaluated by an experienced dealer or appraiser who can check its composition, but it's extremely unlikely to be anything other than an ordinary 5¢ coin.

You have to inspect your coin carefully. If it has a P or D mint mark, it's made of copper-nickel, not silver and is only worth 25¢.

If it's in a holder labelled "Prestige Proof", then it IS a 90% silver coin. These were made for collectors and sell for $3 to $12 depending on quality and which state is depicted.

What is the value of a 1992 silver Kennedy half dollar?
First you have to determine whether the coin is silver or copper-nickel. All circulating half dollars dated 1971 and later are made of copper-nickel, just like dimes and quarters. If your coin has a P or D above the date, it's a circulation strike so it's only worth 50 cents. Special silver halves have been made for sale to collectors, but those carry an "S" above the date and are in special holders with the words Prestige Proof on them. If that's what you have, please see the Related Question for more information.
