Liberty head nickels are made of the same metal as nearly all US nickels, an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
The only time nickels had a different composition was during World War II. Special "war nickels" minted from late 1942 to 1945 due to metal shortages. War nickels were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese and can be identified by a large mint mark letter over the dome of Monticello on the back. Regardless of many popular misunderstandings these are the ONLY
nickels that ever contained silver.
