The US Mint did not issue an 1896 nickel with an "S" stamped on it. If you have one then it would seem as though someone stamped the coin sometime after it left the mint.

Also please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made of silver. All US nickels except special "war nickels" made during 1942-45 are struck in the same alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.

50 cents. It's not silver and not a Liberty half: > The last circulating silver half-dollars were dated 1969. These were made of a 40% alloy and contained about 1/7 of a troy ounce of silver. Starting in 1971 halves are made of copper-nickel just like dimes and quarters. > It's called a Kennedy half because it carries a picture of JFK. The only coins called "Liberty" coins are those that have a picture of Miss Liberty on the front side. The last Liberty halves were struck in 1947.

How much is a silver nickel with the liberty on the front and a v on the back?

The value of your Liberty Head Nickel will vary from about 10 cents for one that is so worn as to be unable to determine the date, to thousand of dollars for a high grade uncirculated example of one of the rarest dates. This nicke is not actually silver -- unless somebody silver plated it, making it worthless. It is made of a copper/nickel alloy.
