Best Answer

These coins were the only US nickels that ever contained silver. The amount is small (less than 2 gm) so in worn condition the coins are worth around a dollar for their metal content.

If the coin is in better condition, check its date and see the question "What is the value of a <date> US nickel?" for more information about prices.

What is the value of a silver war time buffalo nickel?

Buffalo Nickels are very different from war nickels. Buffalo (or Indian Head) nickels were struck from 1913-1938 and were only ever made from a copper-nickel alloy. The Jefferson nickel series started in 1938 and has been made of the same copper-nickel alloy except during WW II (1942-45). Then the coins were struck in a silver alloy because nickel was needed for the war effort. Please determine what the date is on your coin and whether it has an Indian Head on the front or a picture of Thomas Jefferson. Then post a new question in the form "What is the value of a &lt;date&gt; US nickel?" in the box at the top of the page and click the GO button. &lt;date&gt; is of course the year shown on your nickel.
