Many older US nickels can be worth more than face value, in some cases a LOT more, but the prices depend VERY much on the coins' dates, conditions, and mint marks. A few examples:

  • "War nickels" dated 1942 to 1945 with a large mint mark on the back are worth 75 cents to a dollar in average condition. These special nickels contain 1.75 gm of silver, and are the only US nickels to ever contain that metal.
  • Average-condition buffalo nickels with visible dates can be worth at least a dollar, and sometimes much more depending on their date and mint mark.
  • Average-condition Liberty Head nickels are worth at lease 2 or 3 dollars each.
  • Rarities like a 1937 nickel with a 3-legged buffalo, or a 1917/18 overdate, can be worth hundreds of dollars
  • The five 1913 Liberty Head nickels, an unauthorized striking, have sold for up to roughly $4 million.
