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.
What would 1 pound in 1961 be worth today
One pound in 1932 was worth approximately one pound in 1932.
To determine the value of 50 pounds of nickels, you need to know that each nickel weighs 5 grams. There are approximately 453.592 grams in a pound, so 50 pounds is about 22,680 grams. Dividing 22,680 grams by 5 grams per nickel gives you about 4,536 nickels. Since each nickel is worth $0.05, 4,536 nickels would be worth approximately $226.80.
The worth on this day 12-14-11 would be $20.382 million USD The pound sterling was 15 ounced of silver. The ratio was 16 to 1 silver to gold. Today gold is $1588
It depends on the type of threepence. A nickel-brass (multiple sided) threepence is rather common and would sell for 50p to a pound or so if circulated. A silver threepence on the other hand is 50% silver (and much smaller) and worth about a pound or two mostly for the silver if circulated.
EPNS stands for "Electro Plated Nickel Silver". Nickel Silver (sometimes stainless steel) is the base metal onto which silver is plated. Despite its name, nickel silver contains no silver at all, but is an alloy of nickel, zinc & copper. A layer of pure silver is deposited electrolytically on the base metal to give a silver finish.
A pound (not troy pound, but just a normal pound) of 90% pure silver dimes would get you about 13.122 troy ounces of pure silver. At current silver prices of $33 a troy ounce, that would get you about $433 in just pure melt. Keep in mind that there are coins which are worth more to collectors than just pure melt values however.
Nothing. The only time the US made silver nickels was from 1942-1945 during WW2. In 1969 they would have been made of copper and nickel.
IF such a coin existed it would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but all nickels except the famous WWII "war nickels" are made of cupronickel, not silver.
Not much... maybe 45 cents or so. "German silver" contains no silver; it's a nickel-copper-zinc alloy. Based on current (May 5, 2011) prices of those metals, a 20/60/20 alloy, which is a pretty common composition for German silver, is worth about $5.50 a pound. Compositions with higher nickel content would be worth slightly more, compositions with higher zinc content would be worth slightly less.
Well it depends is it a nickel, a dime, a quarter, a half dollar? I would guess they are worth around $5.00 if from the 1800's

It's only a nickel spend it.
Most people would say Copper because it is worth ~ $3.00 per pound as scrap. The truth is, however, that pure nickel scrap is worth more than pure copper scrap, namely $8-$9 per pound. Nickel is much harder to find though, so people don't think to answer nickel. Cupronickel in a mixture of copper and nickel, like what is used to make coins. This copper nickel alloy is often used in silver-plate. This is often worth more than the value of pure copper. That being said, any metal can be scrapped. So technically that includes rare and precious metals like gold, platinum and rhodium. But I don't think you were inquiring as to the worth of those.

The half's, quarters and dimes are 90% silver so they do have value. The nickel and cent would have to be high grade Mint State coins to be worth a dime.
