The only U.S. nickels to ever have silver in them were minted from the latter part of 1942 until the end of the 1945 minting year. These nickels are identified by the very large mint mark located on the reverse (tails) side of the coin above the dome of Monticello.
....none. All nickels with the exception of the ones minted during WWII (the ones dated 1942-1945 with the large mintmark over the Monticello contain 35% silver) are 75% copper, 25% nickel. There are no silver buffalo nickels.
Only the "War Nickels" of 1942-1945 had any silver. All other nickels dating back to 1866 are made of copper-nickel alloy.
For most dates, none. US nickels made from 1866 to mid-1942 and from 1946 to the present are made of a copper-nickel alloy, not silver. From mid-1942 to 1945 nickels did contain a small amount of silver because nickel metal was needed for the war effort. Those "war nickels" are the ONLY ones that have any silver in them.
German silver would be much cheaper because it is a nickel alloy that doesn't actually contain silver. Sterling silver, on the other hand, is an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper (usually). Silver is much more valuable than nickel.
It depends on the manufacturer, some do use nickel as a filler, some use copper, and other metals as a filler, but if it says 925 on it I wouldn't worry too much about it. It is genuine Sterling silver. Most jewelers would be able to tell you what else it contains, either by testing or just by kowing who the manufacturer is.
The 1941 nickel doesn't contain any silver, and is worth maybe 10 cents.
None. Only nickels minted from 1942-1945 contain silver. The rest have a 25% nickel 75% copper composition.

A 1935 nickel, also known as a "Buffalo nickel," does not contain any silver. It is made of a composition of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Silver was not used in nickels until the wartime issues of 1942-1945, where some nickels contained 35% silver due to metal shortages.

There is no silver in a 1964 nickel.
No. The only nickels that contained silver were the 1942-1945 "war nickels" with a large mintmark over the Monticello, they contained 35% silver. There were half dimes that contained silver, but they were struck all in the 17/1800s and are much, much smaller than a nickel today.
...If it is nickel silver it contains no silver. It is rather an alloy of nickel and copper to create the look of silver.
It depends. If there is no large mintmark over the Monticello it is copper-nickel and contains absolutely NO silver. If there is a large mintmark over the Monticello (P, D or S) it is 35% silver and contains .0563 troy ounces of silver.
The nickel was never made with silver, it is made with nickel, hence the name.
None
None. All circulating quarters minted since 1965 are made of copper-nickel.
