Unless they're in uncirculated or proof condition they're generally only worth face value. Nickels with those dates still show up in change occasionally. In particular, huge numbers of 1964 nickels were struck during the great coin shortage of 1964-65, so they're the most common date from that period.
NONE of them contain silver; unlike dimes, quarters, and half dollars of that time, nickels were struck in the same alloy as today - 25% nickel and 75% copper.
It's a common date, currently worth about $5.
The coins are still found in circulation, so if they are not a uncirculated, only face value.
1960 is a very common date for these dimes. Its value will only be for the silver it contains -- as of 6/2012 about $1.90
8-15-11>>> Quarters dated 1960-1964 are 90% silver with values of about $7.00. 1965-1969 are copper-nickel and are face value.
Quarters dated 1960-64 are made of 90% silver, so in circulated condition they're worth about $2.50 or so for their silver content. Uncirculated ones are worth around $3.75. Quarters dated 1965-today are made of copper-nickel and are only worth 25¢ if you found them in change. Uncirculated, they retail for about 50 cents.
All dimes from 1960 to 1970 are worth at least 10 cents. Dimes from 1960 to 1964 are worth at least $2 for there silver content. Dimes dated 1965 to 1970 are only worth face value unless they are uncirculated.
Every single one of them is worth 5 cents.
It's a common date, currently worth about $5.
one cent i think!

Most of them are still worth face value. Unlike dimes and quarters, nickels didn't change metal content in 1964, so older specimens still commonly turn up in circulation.
I also have on and I also wonder if mine is worth anything

Not a one. Nor do any nickels from the 1950s, 1930s, 1920s, or anything earlier. Nickels have been made of the same copper/nickel blend since they were first introduced in 1866. The one exception are the WWII-era war nickels (1945-1945) which contain 35% silver.

No, a 1960 nickel is not made of silver. Nickels minted in 1960 are composed of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Silver was last used in the composition of US nickels in 1942-1945 during World War II when nickel was needed for the war effort.
