Up until 1919, the composition of most "Circulated' Canadian coins was 0.925 Silver. After 1920 the composition was altered to 0.800 Silver in dimes, quarters, and half dollars. And in 1967-1968 just before they removed the silver from coins, there was a 0.500 mix of silver in coins.

Canadian Silver Dollars from 1935-1967 have always been 0.800 Silver

What is the percentage of silver in an 1867 Canadian nickel?

Presumably your coin carries the double date 1867-1967, which means it was minted for the Canadian Centennial. In average condition it has no added value. In EF-40, it retails for only 15 to 20 cents.To explain, the first Canadian coins called nickels were minted in 1922 and none have ever contained silver. Five-cent pieces issued before that year were tiny coins made of 80% silver but none were minted in 1867, so you could not have an 1867 nickel.
