No circulating US Coins have ever been made of pure silver, and the only nickels that ever contained any of the metal were the so-called "war nickels" minted from 1942 to 1945. They're distinguishable by the large mint mark over the dome of Monticello on the back. They're about 1/3 silver and currently sell for around a dollar in average worn condition.
ALL other nickels, regardless of date, were and are made of 75% copper, 25% nickel. Any with dates from the mid-1950s to today are pretty much worth only face value. If you have older nickels check out www . coinclub . com/prices for a decent portal to valuation pages.
