Since 1938 all US nickels have carried a picture of President Thomas Jefferson.
Nickels dated 1883 to 1912 carry a portrait of Miss Liberty.
The face value of a 2011 US nickel is 5 cents. However, if the coin is in mint condition or part of a special collection, it may have a higher value to collectors.
The face of a US nickel is circular so it has a diameter, not a length and width. According to the US Mint the coin is 21.2 mm in diameter and 1.95 mm thick.

A 1957 nickel is worth face value only, unless it's uncirculated or a proof coin.
In average condition, both coins are only worth their face value.
The 1949 Jefferson nickel is still found in circulation, contains no silver and likely only face value.
President Abraham Lincoln
