I'm assuming you're referring to nickels that have the head of Thomas Jefferson on them."Silver" nickels were minted from 1942-45 during WWII because nickel was needed during the war effort. These nickels are distinguished by a large mint mark on the reverse above the dome of Monticello. They are referred to as silver nickels because their composition contained 35% silver. Other than a few mint errors that occurred in 1943 and 45, the average circulated silver nickel would be worth .50 to .75 cents.
