I am guessing that you mean a 1942 nickel with the mint mark prominently stamped on the reverse above Monticello. It may be either a D,S or P. These are special wartime nickels that contained 35% silver. 56% copper and 9% manganese They were produced through 1945 and in huge numbers. They are generally worth the value of the silver in them, about $1.60 today. High grade uncirculated coins will have a premium value depending on year and mint.

What is the value of an 1896 silver liberty nickel with an S stamped on the front of coin?

The US Mint did not issue an 1896 nickel with an "S" stamped on it. If you have one then it would seem as though someone stamped the coin sometime after it left the mint. Also please don't assume that because a coin is old it has to be made of silver. All US nickels except special "war nickels" made during 1942-45 are struck in the same alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.

No such coin exists. All 1942-D nickels are made out of the standard 75% copper 25% nickel. Only 1942-S and 1942-P nickels were struck out of the "war nickel" alloy of 35% silver. A 1942-D nickel is worth about 7 cents if circulated and a couple of bucks if in better shape.
