Check it again. By 1980, all U.S. nickels had mint marks. That said, a 1985 nickel is worth 5 cents.
A date is needed. Please post a new and separate question.
Value is determined by the coin's date, mint mark, and condition.
A nickel doesn't necessarily cost anything. To receive a nickel though, you have to either trade in another value of money and ask for that quantity instead. The value of the nickel is 5 cents but it doesn't necessarily cost anything. Correction If you're referring to the value of a nickel to a coin collector, it depends on the coin's date, condition, and mint mark. Pretty much anything found in change today isn't worth more than 5 cents but older nickels can be worth anywhere from a dime to many hundreds of thousands of dollars - - - but as noted, "it depends". In the first decade of the 21st century, commodity prices for copper and nickel, which make up the five-cent coin, rose dramatically, pushing the cost of manufacturing a nickel from 3.46 cents in fiscal year 2003 to 10.09 cents in fiscal year 2012.
All circulating quarters dated 1965 and later, and most proof quarters, are made of copper-nickel. They don't contain any silver. If you found it in change and it has a D or P mint mark, it's only worth 25 cents. If your coin has an S mint mark, it's a proof coin that was made for sale to collectors. If it has a copper-colored edge it's also made of copper-nickel and might sell for $2 to $10 as of 05/2010. If it's in a special holder labelled "Prestige Proof", then it IS a silver coin and is worth $8 to $17.
There's no way to give a specific answer without knowing the date, mint mark, and condition of the coin. Post another question including those details and try again.
The value would depend on the condition and date of the coin.
It may be a little older but is very common, just face value.
The U.S. Mint has never used a "T" mint mark. Examine your coin closely and then post a new question.
$2 to $9000 depending upon the mint mark and the condition of the coin.
The coin is still found in circulation and is face value
July 25, 2009 The value of a circulated Jefferson war nickel is based mainly upon the value of the silver they contain which is $0.78 today. In uncirculated collector coins the values vary greatly with the year and mint mark. To establish an estimated value for an uncirculated Jefferson war nickel, the year and mint mark must be known.
1976, Kennedy Bicentennial Half Dollar; with no mint mark, copper-nickel clad, uncirculated-$1.25 with D mint mark, copper-nickel clad, uncirculated-$1.25 with S mint mark, copper-nickel clad, proof-$1.75 with S mint mark, silver clad, uncirculated-$4.00, proof-$5.00There were so many hundreds of millions of these minted that if your coin has been in circulation, it has no added value and probably never will.
Just 5 cents
This will vary greatly depending on date and mint mark.

Please check your pocket change. It's a common coin worth face value only.The letters are actually FS and are not a mint mark. They're the monogram of Felix Schlag, the coin's designer. They're on ALL nickels dated 1965 and later, except for some of the Lewis and Clark coins that have different images.The mint mark on a 1978 nickel would be between the date and the end of Jefferson's wig. If there's no mint mark, it was made in Philadelphia. (The P mint mark only appears on nickels dated 1942-45 and 1980-present)
F is not a mint mark. It's the initial of the coin's designer, James E. Fraser. The mint mark position is on the back under FIVE CENTS. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1929 US nickel?" for more information
