If you found it in change your nickel is only worth face value.
US nickels made from 1866 to mid-1942 and from 1946 to the present are made of a copper-nickel alloy, not silver. In fact, no circulating US Coins have contained any silver since 1969.
All US nickels (except for silver war nickels) are 75% copper and 25% nickel, with a present melt value of 4.9 cents.
Check the date again. These coins were not made in 2000.
5 cents. It's not silver. All US nickels except the famous "war nickels" from 1942-45 are made of the same metal, an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
AnswerAll circulation half dollars dated 1971 and later are made of copper-nickel, so if you received it in change it has no extra value. In Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, a coin shop might give you $3.00. The 2000-S Proof would go for about $6.50. The 2000-S Silver coin would fetch $10.00.
This is a American Silver Eagle bullion coin. The fact it has been colorized destroys the numismatic collectible value of the coin. The piece still has a value of about $30.00 for the silver it contains.
Silver plated nickel will have no resale value.
DOES NICKEL SILVER HAVE ANY VALUE$ thank you
Sterling silver is 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper and no nickel.
Not silver. The only nickels that ever contained silver were the famous "war nickels" minted during WWII when nickel was a strategic metal. All other nickels are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Bottom line - you have an ordinary nickel worth 5 cents.
It isn't silver. Nickel "silver" refers to an alloy of copper with nickel and zinc to make it look like silver but it really contains no silver at all.
A 1949 Nickel is NOT silver... it's worth about 5 cents. Sorry.
If you mean a Jefferson nickel dated 1942-1945 with very large mintmarks on the reverse, the silver value is about $1.00. They are 35% silver.
The value is 5 cents and it has no silver in it.
It's worth about a dollar, just for the silver.
as of today silver prices approx 1.01usd
A nickel blank planchet; nickel-$5.00 wartime silver-$350.00
No Nickels were struck in silver after 1945, the value is 5 cents.
