The last U.S. silver dollars were struck in 1935 so you cannot have a dollar coin. Please take the time to look at the coin's back, I'm sure it says HALF DOLLAR right by the bottom rim.

The only years the US made nickels with silver were 1942-1945 so if you still think it's made from silver take it to a coin dealer for an assessment.
The silver nickels are worth about $1.50 in scrap silver if circulated or up to about $3-4 if in excellent condition. The steel penny is worth about 2-3 cents if circulated and up to a buck or two if in brilliant uncirculated.
None, because all buffalo nickels are made of the same 75% copper / 25% nickel alloy as current US nickels. The only US nickels that ever contained any silver were special "war nickels" made during 1942-45.
No US nickels have ever been pure silver, the "war nickels" of 1942-1945 are 35% silver and are the only nickels to have any silver. Post new question.
