As of September 2021, the metal value in a nickel (which is composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel) is less than its face value. The cost of the metals used in a nickel is lower than 5 cents due to fluctuations in metal prices.
No, nickel silver and sterling silver are not the same value. Sterling silver is a precious metal composed of 92.5% silver, while nickel silver is an alloy of nickel, copper, and zinc that does not contain any silver. Sterling silver is typically more valuable than nickel silver.
If it is a US nickel, it is 25% nickel, 75% copper. If it is a Canadian nickel I believe it is 100% nickel.
All US nickels except special "war nickels" made during 1942-45 are struck in the same alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
Not a whole lot. Nickel silver contains no silver but only contains base metals, so if you are scrapping a lot of it (several pounds) it may contain scrap value, though it would cost quite a bit to have it refined.
About $9.
