The only time US nickels were silver was from 1942-1945. They contain 40% silver. They have a metal value of around 2 dollars.
Never. They're called nickels for a reason. The only U.S. nickels to contain any silver at all, at 35%, were "war" nickels dated 1942-1945. Nothing before or after was made of silver.
Dimes and quarters, yes. Nickels, no. 1964 was the last year for silver dimes and quarters, and nickels only contained silver during WWII.
During 1942-45 nickels were made with 35% silver to save copper for the war effort.
1942-1945 are the only years silver nickels were struck, 1956 nickels are still in circulation today and are worth 5 cents.
No Buffalo nickels were struck in silver, only the Jefferson "War Nickels" from 1942 to 1945 have any silver in them.
No, the only US nickels to have silver are the "War Nickels" from 1942 to 1945
None of the new US nickels are silver.
No US nickels have ever been pure silver, the "war nickels" of 1942-1945 are 35% silver and are the only nickels to have any silver. Post new question.
War Nickels contain 35% silver or 0.05626oz of silver.
None of the Buffalo nickels (1913-1938) were struck in silver.
No they do not, the ONLY nickels to have any silver are the "War Nickels" from late 1942 to 1946

They are 35% silver.
