That's an extremely broad question because nickels have been minted since 1866 at 3 different mints. Please see the Related Links for value guides.
Also remember that except for the famous "war nickels" of 1942-45, US nickels have never been made out of silver so they're the only nickels that have any extra melt value. All other nickels are made of a copper-nickel alloy so any extra value they might have would be purely as collectible items.

Several billion were made. This is a very common date with no added value in circulated condition. A nice uncirculated one may be worth about 25 cents.

They show up in circulation more than almost any other date.

5¢. Please check your pocket change. Billions of nickels were minted* in 1964 to help alleviate coin shortages during the changeover from silver to cupronickel in higher denominations. That date remains one of the most common in circulation prior to coins minted in the 1990s and 2000s. (*) FWIW #1, coins are said to be minted or struck. "Stamped" usually refers to industrial items like spoons and fenders. FWIW #2, nickels struck at Philadelphia in 1964 did not have a P mint mark. That letter has been used on nickels only from mid-1942 to 1945, and again from 1980 to the present.
