Nickels that year weren't made of silver. There was no change in metal composition in nickels in the 1960s. The only nickels that do contain silver are those minted between 1942 and '45. Anything post-war is only worth face value.
The value is 5 cents and it has no silver in it.
It's copper-nickel not silver. 1964 was the last year for 90% silver quarters.
All quarters from 1796 to 1964 are silver and 1965 to date are copper-nickel

No. It's the same copper/nickel blend as every* other U.S. nickel minted since 1866. There were a billion of them minted in 1964, and it's worth 5 cents. *The only U.S. nickels to contain any silver are the "war nickels" of 1942-1945.
There is no silver in a 1964 nickel.

It depends if they are copper-nickel (post-1964) or 90% silver quarters (1964 and earlier). If they are copper-nickel, dated 1965 and earlier, they are only worth face, if they are silver, they are worth the silver content.
You can melt them but you won't get any silver. All US nickels except special "war nickels" made during 1942-45 are struck in the same alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.

A 1964 dime is made of 90% silver and 10% copper, known as a "silver dime" because of its silver content. These dimes were the last to be minted with silver before the composition changed to a copper-nickel alloy in 1965.
if it is silver it is Worth some money. but if it a penny or nickel it is a common date

No, it was 1945, 1964 nickels are NOT silver. Only the 1942 through 1945 nickels (War Nickels) with large reverse mintmarks are 35% silver. ALL other US nickels regardless of date are made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.
None. Please don't assume that all pre-1965 coins contained silver. Except during WWII, US nickels never contained silver - they've always been 75% copper alloyed with 25% nickel. From 1942 to 1945 special "war nickels" were made that contained about a gram of silver, because nickel was needed for the war effort. A 1964 U.S. nickel contains 0% silver. Only nickels issued from 1942 thru 1945 (known collectively as 'war nickels' and distinguished by their large mint marks, hovering over Monticello on the reverse) contained any silver, 35% by weight.
The 1964 is 90% silver and 1965-1970 are 40% silver. All coins from 1971 to date are copper-nickel
