As of 11/2015 US war nickels are worth 75 cents to a dollar in average condition. Coins in better condition can be worth $2 or more, depending on their date, mint mark, and the amount of wear.
War nickels were made from late 1942 to 1945 and can be identified by a large mint mark (P, D, or S) over the dome of Monticello. They're composed of 35% silver, 56% copper, and 9% manganese. Nickel was eliminated because it was needed for the war effort.
All other US nickels, regardless of date, are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
Sorry, no Buffalo nickels were ever struck in silver.
2 golden galleons, 5 silver sickles and 1 bronze knut! (I love Harry Potter and I couldn't resist :D Sorry!)
Please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made of silver. All buffalo nickels are made of the same 25% nickel / 75% copper alloy used in modern nickels. Internet rumors notwithstanding, NO buffalo nickels ever contained any silver.
There are 20 nickels in one dollar, so 3 dollars would be equivalent to 60 nickels. Each nickel is worth 5 cents, so 60 nickels would be worth 300 cents or $3.00.
The coin has no silver in it. Only the "War Nickels" from 1942 to 1945 had any silver.

First of all, old nickels contain the same copper/nickel blend as modern nickels. The only U.S. nickels that actually have silver in them are war nickels minted during WWII. For a 1923 buffalo nickel, it's worth $2 or $3 in worn condition and upwards of $60 if uncirculated. If it's a 1923-S, it's worth a few times that amount.
It's a common coin, worth about $2 for the silver (nickels dated 1942-1945 are the only ones that contain any silver).
