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.
Buffalo nickels don't contain any silver.
Circulation "Ikes" were made of copper-nickel rather than silver. They're only worth face value.
The only nickels that ever contained silver were the famous "war nickels" minted during WWII when nickel was a strategic metal. All other nickels are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
The only dollar coins issued in 1980 were made of cupro-nickel, not silver. They're only worth face value.
That wasn't something done at the mint, rather the cent was likely plated with zinc or nickel. So it has little to no collector value. The US government has never struck a penny in silver.
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.
Look at the coin again. The US never made any 5 dollar silver coins of any date.
The value of nickel silver cutlery can vary depending on the age, condition, and brand. Generally, nickel silver cutlery is not very valuable compared to silver or sterling silver cutlery. It is often used as a more affordable alternative. Consulting with an antique dealer or appraiser can give you a better idea of the specific value of your nickel silver cutlery.
It isn't silver. Nickel "silver" refers to an alloy of copper with nickel and zinc to make it look like silver but it really contains no silver at all.
A 1949 Nickel is NOT silver... it's worth about 5 cents. Sorry.
If you mean a Jefferson nickel dated 1942-1945 with very large mintmarks on the reverse, the silver value is about $1.00. They are 35% silver.
The value is 5 cents and it has no silver in it.
as of today silver prices approx 1.01usd
It's worth about a dollar, just for the silver.
A nickel blank planchet; nickel-$5.00 wartime silver-$350.00
Look at the coin's edge. It's not silver, it's copper-nickel. All copper-nickel half dollars dated 1971 and later are only worth 50¢ if they're in circulated condition. Uncirculated, perhaps a dollar.
No Nickels were struck in silver after 1945, the value is 5 cents.
