Please check your coin again and post a new, separate question with both its date and denomination.

Note that

(a) "nickel silver" is a specific metal alloy, but no US Coins were ever struck using nickel silver

(b) Most US nickels (5 cent pieces) don't contain any silver - only those made during WWII have any precious metal in them.
