It's not clear what's meant by "standard" nickels. The special Lewis and Clark commemorative nickels were only minted during 2004 and 2005, and a new design for Jefferson's portrait was adopted in 2006. Until the Mint authorizes another design change, the 2006 and later design is the new standard.

What is a 1968 Jefferson nickel without a mint mark worth?
1968 Jefferson nickels were only struck at Denver and San Francisco so they all should have mint marks. 1968 was the first year for obverse-side mint marks so it should be on the front between the date and the tail of Jefferson's wig. Mint marks were smaller at that time and were added to the dies by hand so it may be more difficult to see than on more recent nickels.

Many older US nickels can be worth more than face value, in some cases a LOT more, but the prices depend VERY much on the coins' dates, conditions, and mint marks. A few examples:"War nickels" dated 1942 to 1945 with a large mint mark on the back are worth 75 cents to a dollar in average condition.

Yes, "War Nickels" or nickels struck from 1942-1945 that have a large mintmark over the Monticello are 35% silver and are worth around $1.50 at the time of writing. Pre-Jefferson nickels are usually worth at least a bit more than face and proof or uncirculated nickels also give you a premium. ------ Many nickels are worth more than "face" value, For example - ALL of the Liberty Head nickels are worth more than face (they were minted from 1883 to 1912) Then came the buffalo nickels - Virtually all of those are worth more than face. After the buffs came the Jefferson nickel. In addition to the "war nickels" (as stated above) there are "key date" Jefferson nickels that are worth more than face. To list a few examples...the 1950D (Denver mint) is a rare (key) date and is worth around 10 to 20 dollars on eBay. Also the 1939D is a key - it sells for around 10 dollars on eBay...depending on condition. In mint state these coins can bring 100 dollars plus. To sum it up. as many Jefferson nickels are worth more than face, it would be difficult to list them all. The easiest way would be for you to ask us here about a specific date. Make certain to include the mint mark (if any) and a rough idea of condition. Or just get a coin value book at the library ( the Red Book) or look it up on eBay as to approximate the selling value.

And in fact, there are five nickels that are each worth well over $1 million. These are the famous 1913 Liberty Head nickels that were struck clandestinely by Mint employees using dies that had been prepared for 1913, before the decision to mint Indian head nickels starting that year. The finest known of these coins once sold at auction for over $3 million.
How much are US nickels from 1942-1945 worth?
Assuming you're referring to "war nickels", they retail for around a dollar in average condition. Better-quality coins of course bring more but it depends on their date and mint mark. War nickels were made of an alloy of 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. That small amount (1.75 gm) of silver makes them worth more than other nickels minted in the 1940s. War nickels can be identified by a large mint mark letter over the dome of Monticello on the back. All other US nickels are made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper, regardless of date.

Except for the "war nickels" mentioned above, all nickels have been made of a cupronickel (25% Ni / 75% Cu) alloy.
