Realistically, five cents. It's too common and recent a date to be worth more.
A 1957 nickel is worth face value only, unless it's uncirculated or a proof coin.
If it's not uncirculated, just spend it.
Unless it's proof or uncirculated, 5 cents. It's a Jefferson nickel not a Monticello nickel.
Unless it is uncirculated, it's pocket change.
Still only 5 cents.
All circulation 1971 and later halves are made of copper-nickel, not silver, so they have no added value if you found it in change. A nice uncirculated 1981-P half might bring $1 to $8 depending on quality. A 1981-D would be $1 to $12.
If it's not a high grade uncirculated coin spend it. If it is uncirculated you may get 25 cents if your lucky.
5 dollars
Unless it is uncirculated, it's just a nickel, 1956 Jefferson nickels are common and still found in circulation.
July 25, 2009 The value of a circulated Jefferson war nickel is based mainly upon the value of the silver they contain which is $0.78 today. In uncirculated collector coins the values vary greatly with the year and mint mark. To establish an estimated value for an uncirculated Jefferson war nickel, the year and mint mark must be known.
The only US nickels to contain silver are those minted during WWII. A 1959 nickel in uncirculated condition might go for 25 cents.
Unless it's proof or uncirculated, 5 cents.
