Please post a new question with the coin's date. If you know where the mint mark is located include the coin's mint mark as well.
One U.S. nickel is worth five cents. Some nickels are worth more to collectors, depending on factors such as date, mint mark, and condition. For a specific value, ask about a specific nickel.
None, because all buffalo nickels are made of the same 75% copper / 25% nickel alloy as current US nickels. The only US nickels that ever contained any silver were special "war nickels" made during 1942-45.
All US nickels minted since early 1938 have carried a portrait of President Thomas Jefferson. Nickels minted from 1913 to early 1938 are called either buffalo nickels or Indian head nickels - they show the entire buffalo, not just its head.

The only US nickels that ever contained silver were special "war nickels" minted from late 1942 to 1945. As of 10/2015, they sell for about $1 each in average condition. War nickels were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. They can be identified by a large mint mark letter over the dome of Monticello on the back. All other US nickels dating back to 1866 are made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
A nickel weighs 5 grams. There are 454 grams in a pound. There are 90.8 nickels in a pound. There are 862.6 nickels in 9.5 pounds for a face value of $43.13
There's no such coin. The first US nickels were made in 1866 and the first Canadian nickels were issued in 1922.

Sorry, no US nickels dated 1814 the first one was 1866.
The only years silver was used in US nickels was 1942-1945, the coin is face value.
None have any silver value. US nickels made from 1866 to mid-1942 and from 1946 to the present are made of a copper-nickel alloy, not silver.
The only time US nickels were silver was from 1942-1945. They contain 40% silver. They have a metal value of around 2 dollars.
The US first issued nickels in 1866, and Indian head (buffalo) nickels were minted from 1913 to 1938.
You need to start with the following information:Coins are weighed in grams. US nickels weigh 5.0 gm; current Canadian nickels are 3.95 gm.A US pound is 453.6 gm so 10 pounds = 453.6*10 = 4536 gramsThat means 10 US pounds of:American nickels is 4536 / 5.0 = 907 coins (rounded to the nearest whole number); the value is US$45.35Canadian nickels is 4536 / 3.95 = 1148 coins (also rounded); the value is CDN$57.40

Buffalo nickels were never struck in steel. All were made from the same cupronickel alloy used for modern Jefferson nickels. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1936 US nickel?" for more information.
